Re: [doc] Clutch Done! (Long)

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It sounds like if you don't have access to a pit or ramp and appropriate 
gearbox jack, it really IS easier to just lift the engine and box out. 
It's designed to come out thet way and doing it like that means you can 
have the whole thing done in a day. I've read time and again that the 
trickiest part is getting the gearbox back onto the engine - and 
certainly it's not easy even when you've got it on the floor in front of 
you with the engine on a hoist.

I'm impressed you did all the seals yourself Richard!

All the best
