==Installation of gearbox==

(This is where the fun begins), raise the front of the motor to get maximum angle so it's a little easier.
You may need to disconnect the exhaust to get maximum angle.
Best thing to do is take the selector out of the gearbox by taking out the circlip on top, and the gearstick comes straight out.
Put the gearbox on top of a jack and wheel under vehicle ready for lifting.
Have one person on the end of the gearbox and one at the front.
You need to turn the gearbox anticlockwise about 45degrees to clear the floor just before the input shaft goes in.
Then you can straighten it back up.
It's really heavy so just be very careful of not to injure anyone. (safety first)
As soon as you get the input shaft inside the driveplate , get the angle of the gearbox the same as the motor and push it towards the motor wiggling it side by side, the input shaft is really really hard to get into the spigot bearing first up so don't give in right away.
It will take some time and sweat but as quick as you can say &quot;it's in&quot; it will pop in to it's place.
Lots of jiggling and movement (but not too much) is needed to get it in the right place.
Attach the crossmember and bolt her up.
(Note: before fitting gearbox, place a little molykote grease on the input shaft but not too much as this will spread to clutch plate and you will be removing it again soon after. Also, if you can't get the gearbox flush with the back of the motor, providing it's straight, use the bolts to close it in and pull it towards the motor, adjusting each side accordingly.)
