Un Doing The Gearbox From The Block In A R33

[stitch324door]

What is involved in undoing the gearbox from the block is it hard. The engines still in the car. How do you get yhe sensor at the bottom out? This is for a r33

[turboedsloth]

what sensor out the bottom? IF you have some mechanical experience pulling a gearbox out is a piece of piss. IF YOU DONT know what you are doing take it to someone you does

What sensore at the bottom are you talking about?

In regards to where it bolts up to the block, you just gotta make sure the box is dropped down off its cross member to get to the top bolts. Unless your trying to get them from the top which ive never down before.

pretty easy on a hoist

not fun if youre doing it on the ground

take out shifter from gear box, theres a circlip holding it in

undo gearbox mount

undo starter motor

undo all gearbox bolts from bellhousing

take slave cylinder off the side of gbox

undo any plugs

take off tailshaft

and out comes the gbox

make sure you put a rag in the end of the box so all the fluid doesnt spill out

They are a easy box from memory when i did mine.

You will need 4 jack stands a decent jack, decent set of spanners and socket set with extentions and oil drain bucket. And a strong mate

this is how i do it

1. Disconnect the battery

2. Remove gear shift boot

3. Remove the gear selector by undoing the circlip

2. Jack up the car as high as you can and put the stands under. make sure it is stable before getting under it.

4. Drain the oil out of the box if you are replacing the box or its oil

3. Undo the bolts on the tail shaft and remove it

4. Unbolt the clutch slave and tie it to one side

4. Than i undo the starter motor and leave the wiring connected to one side where it wont fall

5. Undo the bottom bell housing bolts leave 2 easy accessible bolts in just loosen them.

6. Undo the gearbox cross member and drop the back of the box down

7. Disconnect the wiring and the seedo sender

8. Get your extensions and go from the back of the box to undo the top bell housing bolts.

9. Now get your mate under there with you and undo the final bell housing bolts and using a pry bar or a big screw driver and leaver the box from the back of the motor with your mate holding the back of the box up level. Be careful as they can come quickly or sometimes be a real bastard if it is not coming you have more than likely missed a bolt once it is separating from the motor pull it back and it should drop out they are pretty heavy.

and thats all there is to it someone that knows what they are doing should have it out easily in a hour and a half
