3c3 build 5 - Remove Gearbox

Post #1 by ehannon » Sun Apr 23, 2017 9:43 pm

Hi Guys,
I have discovered a rather large 5 inch crack in the gearbox of my powertrain. Its lost all its oil. It looks like i have to replace mine.
From looking at the underside would i be correct in saying that the gearbox is simply removed by unbolting the drive shaft and then unbolting the gearbox from the borg warner shuttle and leaving everything else in situ?

Thanks in advance for replies :D

Daft question but has the old gearbox gone bang and made the case crack or has the crack just appeared? If the crack has just appeared but there is nothing untoward wrong with the gearbox it may very well be possible to have it metal stitch repaired?

yes you can unbolt gearbox and take it out separately
