YEAH!!!!!! After months..maybe years.. i have finally fitted the replacement gearbox into the car, i know its still got a long way to go but this has been a big milestone, i can finally crawl under the car without a massive lump of ally and a 3 ton trolley jack in the way.

 

However, i have one question...how the hell do i put the 4 bolts through the starter gear into the Torque Conv. there's no bleeding room for them!! The starter hole has no gap big enough for the bolt

the 4 bolts for the torq converter can be got to on the passenger side of the engine if remove the lower gear box mount .. i'm sure u can move the cover aside and get to the bolts really easy

yea also get them in from the drivers side the same way...4x14mm for the T/C and the box to block brackets are also 14mm

Cheers guys, found the bracket and managed to bolt up the Torque Converter, Thanks again!
