16. Move the transmission rearward until the input

shaft clears the pressure plate housing, then

lower the jack and remove the transmission.

easier if the front of the engine is jacked up

carefully to tilt the transmission down at the rear.

3.  Using a jack, raise the transmission and move it

forward until the flywheel housing locates on the

engine guide pins, ensuring that the spline on the

input shaft slides through the hub on the clutch

disc and the end of the shaft locates in the spigot

11. Remove any contaminants from the driveshaft slip

yoke’s working surface before re-installing it into

the transmission extension housing.
NOTE: During installation of the driveshaft into

transmission, plunge the slip yoke the minimum

distance into the extension housing to avoid slip

1.  Mount the transmission (with flywheel housing

attached) in a bench-mounted holding fixture or

equivalent.

2.  Using a 3/8-inch drive ratchet and extension,

remove the drain plug located on the right hand

side of the transmission case.

3.  Remove the CSC unit as Removal of Concentric

Slave Cylinder in Chapter Section 308-01.

Remove the four integral flywheel housing-to-main

case bolts located between the CSC mounting

bosses.

 WARNING: Using an 11mm spanner,

restrain the steel female fitting in the CSC

whilst undoing the mating tube fitting to avoid

damaging the CSC

NOTE: The input shaft bearing carrier is integral

within the flywheel housing. Removal will result in

partial disassembly of the transmission main case.

5.  Remount the transmission in the holding fixture.
6.  Using a 13mm socket, position shift lever in

NEUTRAL position and remove turret cover

 CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the

bonded offset lever while the extension

housing is bolted in place. A lug, located at

the bottom of the bonded offset lever, meshes

with the detent plate preventing enough

rearward movement of the bonded offset lever

to allow removal.

10. Using a suitable pry bar, break extension
