Title: 1992 FD Gearbox Removal
Post by: dboy on October 03, 2008, 03:03:33 PM
Now then gents, thought i better ask those in the know !!
 
Is there anything funky i need tool wise for removing the gearbox on a 92 FD ?:confused::confused:
 
Or is there a link to a faq page or step by step for it ? I know the FD has a gearbox brace as well so will watch for that.  
 
I have done a quick search but nothing jumped out at me, mind you it is friday, was at the pub for lunch so could quite easily have missed something.:King
 
Big Thanks in advance for any help guys:god:god

Hey,

Whilst the gearbox was still in the car, I found it was easier to unbolt the whole clutch from the flywheel. The bolts are a little more accessible than the release bearing.
 
If you have any probs let me know.
