Fitting Manifold - Help

[jimbob 3]

As it says on the tin really, i have bought and wrapped a magnex 4 branch exhaust manifold and have gone to fit it today and going from the bay i can get it most of the way down but it starts fouling on the gear linkage part that looks like a flat mushroom by the back of the gearbox.

 

Is there a trick to fitting it down or something? any advice welcome

 

Cheers

jack the engine up by the sump (interspersed with piece of wood, or a padded saddle) remove the r/h engine mount arm and drp the jack down so the engine tilts forwards, take care you dont stick the inlet through the rad though
