Hey guys, got the manual pedal box into the ghia.
This car is originally Mash85's off the forums so i made sure i did a clean and nice job. Anyway, My manual box has the bellhousing joined onto it, can i jack the car up, take out the autobox and bellhousing out as a hole and just jack the Manualbox/Bellhousing at once? Cheers all! |

ummm....yes. unbolt auto, remove flex plate and converter blah blah bolt on manual.we put the manual bellhousing on first (top bolts are a royal C*** with a gearbox in the way) then f@rt around aligning clutch and s**t.

hardest thing on mine was the upper bellhousing bolts. a rattle gun at CMS were on them for over and hour. looked as though it had leaked from rear welsch plug and corroded the threads.
not even he man could have gotten them off with a bar and socket

If you need more leverage connect a large ring spanner to the open end of the first spanner.

But yes the box/clutch can be a prick to line up I did my conversion with a set of stands and a trolley jack and 2 car ramps...worked wonders but was a prick to do...worth every penny, though i don't i'll be changing the clutch like that 
box/cltuch wasn't much of a prick when i got my conversion done...it slotted in quiet easily. though the prick of a job were the final top 2 bolts which were a nuisance. I think tim is finding it hard to remove too. phong =P~
