Guys, got a new one of these as my original collapsed. Is there a trick to getting these unit out and in? Looks like there are some clip in tabs and you just push it into place and these clips self locate? By this logic I'll need a pallet knife to release these on the old unit that's coming out? Is any adhesive required / expected?

Any help that can be offered would be great. Hopefully a simple job.

I did it years ago in mine - dont remember there being anything to worry about, but those clips on the top do look like they need to be released. Are they the same on the bottom?

Piece of piss like you say. A wide pallet knife is a good thing for this job. There are 4 clips top and bottom and you use the knife to lift up / down the vent and it pops off and slides out.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
