Hi everyone, diesel engine removal going ok .... everything off except the gearbox bolts. In the Rave manual it doesn't say anything about taking the engine out only, just the engine and gearbox together. I was going to support the gearbox on axle stands, remove the bolts and lift the engine away. Anything I need to look for/avoid?

if its a manual box you need to take of the slave cylinder so the fulcrum arm lets the clutch go, other than that its a straight forward job. i find it easier to support the box with a jack so you can lift or lower it to aid the removal. now get stuck in and stop waisting time.

:hysterically_laughi i hope it aint affected the function, owning a big car is supposed to make up for size not the way its supposed to work.
