I guess I'll have to do it now

Engine and box out ... Yes pig of a job sorry the computer couldn't rotate the photos

Chap came to help remove the box to fit in his 24v Capri however I now know what the horrible sound is not a knackered cheap clutch release bearing but is the expensive front main shaft bearing. So the disappointed chap walked away without buying it. Good news is he recons the exhaust manifolds will sell for good money.

MT75? complete gearbox bearing set about £100 on Ebay or is it something more serious/sinister?

Well done so far Mick.
Was it just the gearbox bearing or is the shaft knackered as well?

Keep us posted on your progress.

I guess this is where some power went missing. Need to find a way of raising by at least an inch.
