5th Gear Cap

[Coops]

no sure what i need to do to get it off the gearbox in situ?

i have r19 mount aswell, so guessing remove battery tray/top box mount, jack up box to remove 19 mount then try to wiggle the end cap off out the gap between subframe and chassis rail?

any tips?

cheers

haha i see - dont know in that case.

Unscrew the bolts lol

Ive only done it once in situ, and that was YEARS ago lol

from what I remember, it was ok to get off, but putting it back on was an arse due to the 5th gear oil tube on the inside of the cover.

However i remember thinking afterwards, it would have been a piece of piss if u drop the subframe an inch...so maybe thats worth looking at.

yeah cheers stan, i was thining same, may try that first. i have undone the bolts and got it loose, but need to get it off completely and wont wiggle off without something moving
