The guide is HUGE. I've put it straight into the KB and locked it so replies can be put on a thread that isn't so painfully big... like this one

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8234

Enjoy

Wow! a mega-thread

Nicely done m, and a *lot* of work there

Clutches are a bit of a mistery to me

You done good though, I'll doff my cap to you. I think I'd have called for help just after the part where you removed the battery

It almost takes that long to read through and digest the info contained within!

Very comprehensive guide though, good work MJB. Shame I don't have a V6!

Regarding that long bolt fitted to the gearbox for the mounting, this can be removed using a stud extractor that is normally used for removing cylinder head studs from cylinder blocks...just like the old type mini engines and such.That was the tool that I used for removing it.

Don't be put off by the huge amount of work involved, the none V6 models are easier to do.

Can you do us a HUGE favour and find a link to a suitable item on machinemart.co.uk or similar please? I'd love to add that to the top of the HOWTO!

If you follow the HOWTO, you can cut out about 80% of the work I did getting into messes with stuff I didn't get right

It's really not too bad when you understand the process. Just those goddamn wheelarch liner screws... grrr...

You were a brave man taking that job on Matt.
I'll stock up on the Stella & invite you down for the weekend when I do mine!

Sounds like a plan, I'll bring the Lexia/pp2000 setup for a play too

Got to have a go at my dad's tubby first though... I'll scope up the clutch change work while I'm at it
