    Subframe removal.. easy?!

    Ah right. Yeah, all the hubs etc. are off. Driveshafts out. Just want to make it easier for me to get the new box back in!

    Subframe removal.. easy?!

    Yeah, all the bolts have been undone, and I've dropped it down a few inches, but is there any reason it can't be removed completely? Steering rack an issue?

    Subframe removal.. easy?!

    I'm mid-swap in my gearbox change. I've got the old box out, and a new one ready to go back in, but getting the old one out was a f**king nightmare! How easy is it to drop the subframe? I've dropped it a few inches, but want to see hoe easy it'll be to drop to the floor?

    engine/gbox mounts

    If the dogbone mount snaps, the engine won't move unless under load.

    where is the starter motor?

    On the Ph1, it's over the back of the engine, middle-ish. Post up the symptons, and I'm sure others will give you a few suggestions..

    Gasket/seal replacement on Gearbox change..

    Right, so I'm changing my gearbox, as per benp's guide. Do I need to change the gasket between the cat and the centre section? Also, the plenum was sealed with some sort of black rubber.. What's the score? Do I need to replace the sealant, or will the old stuff still be good? Cheers...

    182 cup vs 172 cup gearbox

    The 172 box has a speedo sensor though.. The 182 uses ABS to work the speedo. I think they're the only differences.

    Ph1 Ph2 172 gearbox question.

    I don't mind which box I use, there just doesn't seem to be any Ph1/cup ones about for a decent price.

    Ph1 Ph2 172 gearbox question.

    So, I know that the ph1 garbox has a speedo sensor and the ph2 uses the abs to work the speedo. Is there anyway of adapting a Ph2 gearbox to accomadate the sensor? Or could I get my speedo working using the abs ring too? What would I need?

    172 not starting!!

    Check the usuals. Tried jump starting it? Fuel? Spark? Compression? You should be able to hear the fuel pump prime itself. Lay under the car and get someone to turn the key. You should hear it wake up. Spark- Take a plug out and test it. Easy enough. Compression tester required if you...

    Weight of a 172 cup Gearbox????

    Lol. Quick way to drain is pull the drive shafts out. The cleaner way, gearbox sump plug.

    Bellhousing adapter for gearbox?!

    I've just found dimensions for the Gti-6 box. It's the size of a three-bed semi. No go.

    Bellhousing adapter for gearbox?!

    Just wondering quickly and looking at all my options (or non-options). Would I be able to get a GTi-6 gearbox to fit my Ph1 172 if I was to adapt the bellhousing, or somthing similar? They're cheap as chips, bullet-proof and readily available. All the things a Ph1 'box isn't! That's if the...
