Hi Guys, i'm in the process of putting a gearbox back onto my car, before the gearbox is installed, is there anything that needs to be put on first, above the box, i seem to recall something but its been so long that my tablets wont let me remember. I've got a heatshield that goes further down over the drive shaft, so thats one, but i thought there was 2...Also, if you know of any gotchas, things that i remember to do only after i have put it all back, i would appreciate your input, and pictures dont forget...

 

Cheers

Can't offer any advice but if you need a spare pair of hands i'm only down the road

Don't forget to put the earth strap from the battery to one of the top bell housing bolts.

There's a few cables that need connecting such as the speed sensor, make sure you tie that loom up that comes back from the engine bay, don't let it hang down. There should be a couple of bendy ties to do that. I do have a pic but not handy

Thanks guys for the advice, sorry for the delay.. just a quick one, should i refill the box with oil before i install it or after?

 

Cyberbean, thanks for the offer...you just may regret it..

dont forget the spacer plate that sits behind the clutch, hopefully you never removed it. the worst bit is lining up the gearbox mount.
