this is a new project, that ii dont know what do with, keep or sell.
got it and the gearbox is hoofed, so, thats the first job.
1600 sport, 50 odd k on the clock, network q car so it does have history
"i-e vaux put a new engine in at 38k due to belt failiure"
so.
gearbox removal
take the battery out, and the tray
10mm for the clamps, 13mm for the battery and tray
rusty tray, i will be rubbing it down and making it non rusty.
unbolt and move over the sai pump
2x 13mm
take the wheels off, jack up, and put on axel stands
17mm
undo the ball joint bolts both sides
2x 13mm
then pop the ball joints out, if you damage the rubber like i did, replace them
undo the clutch cable
unplug the speedo plug
and the reverse plug
take the linkage pin out, press the tab in at the bottom and push it upwards
and the linkage pivot pin
push the edges out, and lift up
then start takeing the starter off, this is tricky as there are some nuts you cant see, the wiring is in the way, and one nut is actuall a double, nut/bolt
4x 13mm and 1x 10mm using a deep socket for the 13mm
grab yourself some food/drink, and have some
sort of the middle of this pic, is the rod to linkage bolt undo it and seperate them
1x 13mm
then pull the shafts out
grab an pull
and by now you should have 2 things, a tray to catch the fluid, and you should have cut yourself at least once
then start undoing the block to box bolts
array of 19mm, and 15mm
there is one at the top you have to take the box breather off, and use a 3/8th drive as a half inch wont go in,
19mm
now the box should have started to split away
so get a jck and a bit of wood, place it so it does not hit anything like the sump nut etc and take the weight of the engine with it
undo the front and rear box mounts
3x 15mm at the front
and 2x 18mm at the back
now lever the box away from the engine
and
and heres the clutch
now due to me not having the new box to go on, or the clutch has not arrived, most jacks creep down over time, so give the engine some extra support with a axel stand and some wood
now your done, have a celabratary double decker bar and some tea.
