Out the top with the engine or out the bottom. what would you say is the quickest i've always taken it out the top but just wondered about doing it the other way :roll:

i think the record for me changing a box in the car on a valver to strip down to take out bottom using a lift etc was 2.5 hours and putting in is about same as long as box goes on no problem (lining clutch up)

2.5 hours out and in :shock: or was that just out.

Took me 3hours to get it out friday night (from 4-7) and i was outside in the dark with a big light :lol:

then took me 3hours to put it all back in, lining the box up on ya own is fun :roll: plus it was raining and i got soaked through to the bone :cry:

o well had to be done :wink:
