Gearbox replacement
GAS.455:
Thought I would ask a stupid question.....I have just bought another gearbox to replace the one I blew in '99 for my '75 Vette.....
When I took it out.....I took the engine out first then the box...now do I still have to have the engine out to get the box in?
I have since put the engine back in the car.....
It was an Auto when I bought it....it has since been converted to a manual...muncie.
I took the tailshaft out yesterday....there just doesn't seem any where for the end with the UNi's to go to slide it back when the gearbox is in.
Does that make sense??
Any tips??? Any ideas or advice will be greatly welcomed.
It is sooooo much easier to work on my '60 Pontiac!!!!

Yeah, not much room! I had trouble when I took my auto out. Basically had to jam it up into the tunnel and back a bit.
Lots of swearing didn't seem to help either. :b2
GAS.455:
I will have another look on the weekend...but I couldn't see that I could put the shaft anywhere in the tunnel near the diff....
Don't worry...there has been plenty of swearing already!!!
77CVT:
I think I pushed mine backwards just enough to get it out of the box. Make sure you empty the g'box first! ;-)
GAS.455:
I'm getting the box back today after having it all checked out and new seals and what not put in....so i can start the swearing tonight again!!!!
No oil in it yet! ;29
It will be good when this is back on the road after so long...
1 project out of the way, Next one to begin!!
