gords:
As some of you may know, my Discovery broke down on Sunday with a knackered clutch.

I talked to the garage (who are fully booked this week :roll: ) and they reckon that they are going to leave the gearbox/transfer box in place and move the engine forward to get a look at the clutch gubbins ...  :?

What do people think of that plan of action? Is it just me, or is that a wierd way to go about it?

the loon:
try giving Maurice a bell at 4muddyfeet (link below) He'll give you advice
 :wink:

Sooty:
It is an option Gords and is often done because of the size and weight of the gear box/transfer box as it is above the specified limit of many transmission jacks.
Never done it my self, done two clutches in the last 12 months (mine and Ed's) but used a 4 post ramp and hydraulic jack to remove the gear box/transfer box complete.
Just two ends of the same stick.

Tigger:
I always tend to move the gearbox, I find it easier.

There is the added complicaiton of having to remove some of the interior trim, etc. in the tunnel to be able to do it, and some garages will shy away from this.

It's very much up to them which they prefer to use... as long as it doesn't cost you more... I wouldn't worry too much ;-)

Digsit:
I reckon the 'fantastic' Haynes manual suggests removing the engine rather than the gearbox too :?
