The gearbox does have it's own mounts so could stay in there without the engine. I would still put some support under it though.

I'm going to hire/buy an engine stand/crane soon as my Calibra is getting an engine overhaul again (yes, again) and after spending some time in my D bay today I think I might as well whip that thing out as well (I'm surprised how clean my is!). My question is; is the gearbox supported by the engine? Can I disengage the 'box from the block and leave it in the chassis? I'm quite sure the engine will eventually go back in but not before I've "had my way" with it first. ;o) Dan Vin#5284 - Hana Yahoo!
