altezzaclub Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 i had myself an early gearbox; Ah- the ideal box by my reckoning would be that box with a 5th on! 2nd and 3rd are higher, so closer to 4th... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja-philbo Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 millaz88 ul be fine take ur clutch cable off then ur shifter out, drop the oil into a suitably sized container, tailshaft, starter, bellhousing bolts then gearbox crossmember bolts then let it down with a jack (undo crossmember with jack underneath) slide box back be ready as it wil just drop throw over shoulder then do the reverse but with the 5 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's exactly what i noticed with it! I got it for free out of someones backyard....only issue was the bearings(?) were making a truckload of whine in second and a little bit in fourth. Still didn't bother me too much. And in regards to original post; If its the first time your going to be doing a gearbox change it could take a while could take a while. It's not that its a hard job but there are always tricks u learn from working on an old car, there is usually one stiff bolt which wont come out or something of the sort, I know the first time i did one i was afraid of the gearbox falling on me, little did i know how light they were!!! ps disconnect the battery too cos you will be moving the starter.
