i'm about to take the gearbox out of my vit, and thought i'd double check on here first, before i go ahead.
has anyone had any probs with removing one from the vit? is there anything in particular that i have to watch out for?
the way i have it is, i need to support the rear of the engine somewhere, either on the sump, or attach a block and tackle. i've also been told to put a block of wood between the dizzy, and the firewall. necessary? do i have to remove the actual dizzy?
is it possible to drop the gearbox by dropping the cross member, or do i leave the cross members and unbolt the gbox?
how heavy is a vit gbox? can i leave the vit on its wheels, or will it help if i jack the front up off the ground?
i have a 5 spd manual, and carby motor, so will i need to check for other wires? i only see about 3 that are connected to switches on the box, and the breather hoses.
also remove drive shafts, gear levers, speedo cable, and clutch cable.
does this sound about right?
thanks
Steve
