Removal of the transmission cover

[Slacey]

The bible says remove the two bolts behind the seats - are these the two facing downwards under the 'shelf'?
If so, does it then lift up from the rear and unhook at the front?
I need to get it off to investigate my shifter mechanism some more but don't want to balls it up so instructions would be handy

yes they are the ones, should be 2 studs facing downwards behind each seat, you`ll have to slacken the handbrake cable right off to be able to remove the leather panel though.

Which means getting under the car. That I was hoping to avoid!

You may be able to reach the h/brake adjuster from the offside rear arch with the wheel off.
It does need backing right off so the handbrake comes near vertical.

Thanks Antony, I'll give that a go.
