Started my miggy up yesterday and it started to missfire, managed to get it back home and did a few obvious checks and decided it was the diss pack that had fallen over so i set to and started to remove it, first of all where was it and then how the bloody hell do i get to it, suffice to say after skinned knuckles, thrown tools and many choice words and an engine bay minus many parts, i got the bloody thing off and out, really looking forward to putting the new one back on....................not!! Anyway the question is why did they put the bloody thin there in the first place ? >:( :-/

There is a nack to it.......requires a flexi drive screwdriver!

Trouble is, you have an engine built as a single complete unit for fitting into front and rear wheel drive applications....as a result, you cant position every thing perfectly for both applications
