v8bertha Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 IIRC it's not a quick job... you need to drop the front subframe and remove the IRD before even getting to the gearbox. You'll need to support the weight of the engine too as the nearside mount is attached to the gearbox. I found this website some time ago that gave some useful pointers. The car used here is a 2l Diesel L series, but the gearbox is the same. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blippie Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 It's a fecker of a job and when mine was done by a main dealer it was the best part of £750. Cheers Blip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
