The gearbox comes out today, I have been dreading undoing the mounting bolts they look well rusted in,but a good soak with WD40 and they all came undone easily. Looking at the torsion bars I thought that I could lower them as a unit just enough to get the gearbox cross-member off. This is the case just removing the torsion bar cross-member bolts and levering it down I was able to twist the gearbox mounting free. Now the gear sticks and electrical connections and ready to go. Then I found the breather pipes ho hum.
Torsion bar just low enough to get the gearbox cross member of.
A point that may help if you haven't done this before is that the balance point is where the gear sticks are, would have been nice to know earlier. Looks wrong but that transfer box must be heavy. Got the turbo and exhaust out the way now there is some room, just a tidy up now and start on the Maverick same job all over
