Started a clutch change on the Blue 24v.
Normal issues, sized hub nuts etc, over came them.
But I was thinking, can you leave the intermission shaft in place getting at the bearing bracket, behind the bends of the front pipe, looks a right pain
Or does the front pipe got to come off

Kit

Well, the answer is YES
You can remove & replace the gearbox, without removing the interment shaft.
The gearbox went on reasonable easy, to be honest. Little bit of thought& planning, an extra pair of hands
It alined up, both shafts first time

That was the good bit.
The rear engine Mount failed to line up, & we ran out of time to finish the job

The gearbox to rear mount bracket, caused problems, - just couldn’t remove in the car. So the engine Mount, needed to come off, this reviled a split engine Mount , another job for the coming weeks, but as a ‘stop gap’, I’ve filled the whole engine Mount with mastic, to make it solid. Just the same as putting in the ‘up-grade’ inserts.

Kit

Well, at last all back together, off the stands, wheels on,
& DRIVABLE
Elland 57, drove it around the block, it’s a different car

On the plus side, the Fuel Filler got changed, the gearbox oil was changed & the battery lowered, so the bonnet doesn’t stick up anymore

Hi John,

OK Trevor, will do.
