;) thats my effort! think you win tho!

ok how do i upload a pic?

:)

oooooo good effort mine was just the centre ripped out and the outer part in four pieces!

Cheers guys, but i had managed to get all of them, just took a slightly larger hammer and crowbar and a bit more balls and off it popped! turns out my problem was the clutch has completely disintegrated into 5 or more pieces! never seen that happen before o_O

Ok cheers guys will have anouther fight with it tomorrow!

Right so I have removed three 14 mm bolts that are about (if looking from n/s) 11 oclock 1 oclock and 9 oclock then I have removed the two shorter bolts that hold the supports on underneath near the exaust and I have removed the two smaller bolts and 1 larger bolt from the rear mount?

As above, those are the bolts ive removed, just wondering if ive missed any, cant for the life of me find any if I have, or if anyone has a diagram of the gear box bolts?

Oh and its a 1.0 1996 and if I have got all the bolts has anyone got a tip to pry it off? Im doing it with the shafts still attached, but I dont even have a mm gap to get a screw driver or crow bar!

Hi guys, Ok started to remove the gearbox, and I cant get it to come away from the block. the bolts ive removed so far, am I missing any: the three that go through the rear mount, then theres three longer 14mm ons and two smaller that go through the support straps underneath. Help pleeeeeease!

Frank, out of Interest how did you actially lower thr box to the ground once its out, was it via a engine crane?

as above ^ :)

I like your enthusiasm! however there is literally nothing left of it sticking out the box, the speedo wire just about holds on with a bit of super glue. I might contemplate it but to be honest i spent 2 hours having a go at it last time with all sorts of tools, (albeit with the box in place)...

Because last time i changed the clutch the filler for the box has snapped and got it self well and truly stuck in. So the only way to fill it was to pump oil in from underneath into the drain hole. That was fine that time because it was up on the lift but now i have to do it on my driveway!
