When you change the bellhousing be sure youve got it pointing upwards, slacken off the bolts just a few threads then gently tap the bellhousing until you see it separate, this is to make sure all the other bits stay in place.if they fall out youll have problems. :y :y

My helpful hints.

Take your time. Make sure all the bellhousing bolts are off. There are some high up ones when you are underneath.

Make sure you have disconnected all the plugs on the wiring loom from the gearbox before separation from engine.

If you disturb the gear selector switch it will need adjusting. From memory an 1/8th drill bit. It tells you how in Haynes.

Good luck.  :y :y I'd offer to help but fortunately I am too far away ;D ;D

Oh and Finally be careful as the box full of oil is heavy, 90Kg?
