Gearbox is now in
« on: 15 August 2009, 22:18:11 »
I am very pleased with myself. Fitted a 2.5l box to the engine on my own. Car was on axle stands and all I used was two axle stands, a trolley jack, a metal bar and a scissor jack. They don't tell you that in the Haynes manual! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Driveshaft done, gearstick mechanism connected, one cat in. Had a real problem with the aircon pipes as I couldn't get them past the sump to curl round to the pump so had to remove the pump, then of course, it was a bugger to get back in, finally got there. So, tomorrow's jobs:
Tighten up engine mount
Connect pipes to pump
Bleed clutch
Connect other cat
Finish electrical connections
Fill cooling system
Pray
Start engine.

Spot on!!  Glad you managed to do the deed!   Bit like home made jam- always tastes better than the shop bought stuff!   ;)
