Not sure wether you can drop the dearbox in an AE92 straight out the bottom to do the job but you can in an AE101 and AE111 Levin. I'm assuming you mean AE92 FXGT so I guess it should be fairly similar.

Need to undo box, clutch cables, remove axles and so forth. Drop box out bottom and then change clutch. Do the revers to put back on.

Ahok...well then yea it should fairly easy. Just a time consuming job...

Thats pretty much it in no particular order.
Disconnect battery
Remove air filter junk, starter motor, water hoses, clutch slave, gear linkages, any loom attachments & plugs.
Unbolt inner axles, lower left balljoint.- doing that will allow you to pull the shaft away enough so you dont have to remove it.
with support under (jack)
remove front-rear crossmember & bottom engine mounts.
Undo box bolts, slide off, drop & its out.

If you have not done before, depending how handy you are with the spanners give yourself a day or the weekend.

Drop the crossmember which runs under the north south member. It makes the whole job alot easier

[slighty_sykotic]

it would be half a day if it wasnt for THE $&#$% ONE BOLT at the rear of the engine holding the gearbox on. Its $&#$% tight, and won't move with anything.......


I hate cars.

Done then is it?
Did you drop the other member like I suggested? Just a querry

[Silent Knight]

If that bolt is a bitch just jack the engine up a bit so it tilts. We did this in my mate's 111 and it worked a treat...

[slighty_sykotic]

nah, box still not in yet..... another few hours of it today. It looks like someone has replaced the gearbox (got wreaker writing on it), and in the meantime absolutly munted 90% of the bolts.... 4 hours to undo that $&#$% at the back... and two others were removed with the the aid of a angle grinder .

And yeah, we didnt remove the second cross member. I misread your post and thought you were talking about the north south member. But the gearbox is almost in, its just sitting on a jack almost in palce to be pushed onto the clutch, if my clutch alinging skills are ok.....
