Please tell me can I take engine out together with gearbox?

Or should I disconnect from engine?

What else I need to know before are starting a job?

You can take the engine and box out together, but you will need to drop the subframe about 8 inches or so to clear the sump, even then its going to be, up abit, out a bit and so on till your clear to lift it out. There are only 4 bolts holding the subframe so no biggy, far easier than splitting the box and getting it out on your back lol

 

I would drain all oils, especially gearbox oil, you wont lose much out of the rear of the box once the prop is off, but as you get the angle to lift it will pour out.

I would label all plugs so you know where they go when you come to refit, makes it alot easier.

I would take the strain of the engine on the hoist, remove engine mount bolts, then drop the subframe. remove the rear water pipes, remember thatwhen removing the gearbox mount brace, the engine will tilt back and can crush the pipes, so if you want to keep them, remove them lol.

 

There are a few write ups for engine removal, if you need them let me know.

when dropping the subframe you may need to disconect the steering UJ on the Rack

Oh yes forgot about that lol, one nut to undo for the joint and the spline can slide out.

Unless you need the box out leave it in,there is no need to remove it to get the engine out,you will still need however to lower the front crossmember.
