This morning I set about removing the exhaust and gearbox. I first craned the front end up and put axle stands under the frame rails The exhaust took little time or effort, the 'box a couple of hours and plenty of head scratching. Taking the overdrive gear stick out needed the carpet fitted over the tunnel peeling back, the gaiter turning inside out, the bayonet retaining cup releasing, and the overdrive wires disconnecting. I passed a loop of rope through the hole in the tunnel around the overdrive unit, stuck a screwdriver through it and took off the rear rubber mounting from below. I then lowered the bell housing to the floor, moved the car back the few necessary inches for the UJ to clear the cross member and gently lowered the back end. I could then roll the crane/car combination back sufficiently to lift out the 'box. Job done.



I shall advertise the overdrive unit unless anyone on here is interested.
