i have now got the box off, i pulled the driveshafts out but when it came off it left the boot bit going into the gearbox and the shaft just came out. is there anyway of getting it out now? | |

You will probably need to remove the whole front pass side mount(one bolt through the chassis mount, 3 onto the gearbox itself) | |

it will be fine supported on the sump. as long as you use a reasonably thick board of wood between jack and sump to spread the load out | |

you asked a technical question at the end of your post relating to your gearbox issue, I believe this post is more fitting in Help Zone. | |

there's only 1 mount holding the engine, the other 2 hold it up by the gearbox. | |

Jack the car up and put it on axel stands and then have lots of sturdy and stable blocks of wood under your sump and add a jack just for good meassure, should have plenty of room and be safe enough:thumbs: | |

well, the BEST way, it by using an engine crane, but I guess you haven't got one of them. | |

no engine mount needs touching, there's the gearbox mount on the passenger side chassis leg, as well as the one on the floorpan, they both need undoing... | |
