Bloody right! I'm still undecided on whether to do both boxes or just the tranny box. I'm still not sure quite how I'm going to do it either!

Not too bad floors up. Centre tunnel up,
Gear leaver off, drop the gearbox cross Member breather pipes x2 reverse switch diff lock switch wires and speedo undo all bellhousing and gearbox mounts take out.
If it's just tranny box that's easier but if there was no oil in the gearbox then it's a toss up weather to fit a known box or hope it's not noisey or done any damage. Output splines condition I think would swing it either way for memos they're good then take a punt and just don't tranny box of they're bad swap it for a known good box.

What is it with gearboxes at the moment
If you need any able bodied chaps to lean against your garage door offering up loads of crap while you wallow in the crap then I'm sure we can oblige

I might just take you up on that. I'm going to attempt to strip the transmission tunnel this weekend I think.
