HELP Is it my Clutch OR gearbox
brianb:
Thanks for the reply.
I ended getting a 5 peice Valeo clutch kit, hopefully I'll get it fitted On sunday if it dont rain. Just a little worried on how the hell im going to lift the gearbox back into position let alone get it off the ground.

Can I ask how you took it out cuz I half thinkin you took the bolts out pulled it back then let the bloody thing fall to the ground I supose you could split transfer box and gear box that would make it lighter but it will still be bloody heavy
Axetamer:
One way i believe is to use long studs made from threaded bar and slide the box back about 4-5 inches and not actually removing it completely from the vehicle, you'd have to rotate the flywheel using the crank pully bolt at the front of the engine to get at all the bolts.......not tried it myself though
Range Rover Blues:
Why LR didn't fit an access panel to the bellhousing, then this method would be perfectly feasable because you could tighten the pressure plate up once the bellhousing was back on, that way you don't worry about aligning it.

Yep thats more or less how it went...well we passed a strop from inside the landy through gearlever opening rounf the gearbox and back up, then me and brother 1 held it while brother 2 pulled it free. Once free mw and brother one lowered it to ground in a "sort" of controlled way. I doubt it will come up the same way. Getting a lend of an engine hoist to replace me and Brother 1 to lift it up while 2 of us hopefully push gearbox back on.
One other thing thats bothering me is we snapped 2 wires off fron the sensor at the top of bell housing, i can recconect them BUt i dont know which way round they were...oh well 50/50 chance of getting that bit right i suppose.
Cant beleive we snapped them, i thought we had disconnected all wires but just missed that one connector.
Anyone know what that sensor is?
