cant seperate the gearbox from the engine

**jwarren2k2** · 30-12-2006, 17:35

got all the bolts undone as far as i can see, the subframe is dropped on one side, engine miount under battery is undone, driveshafts out, but still cant get the box to seperate from the engine?!

is it a case of just really tugging at it, or levering it with a screwdriver or something?!

Any help much appreciated

Is the starter motor off???

Make sure you really have got ALL the bolts undone and you aren't missing one.

Have you got the one by teh o/s driveshaft input, that you have to get to from the other side of the car

If you have done all of the abovve just pull really hard, might be seized on, althoguh i've never known one to be

the o/s bolt is off, just done it... it seems a bit looser, but still wont budge.

we can see a bit of movement, but its not going?!

You need to remove the starter
