simon205Mi16 0 Posted January 7, 2006 I am in the process of changing my clutch . I have undone all of the bolts i can see attaching the gearbox to the engine but it does not want to part. I have just read in the haynes manual you have to take the engine and box out before dissmantling them. But surely it can be done with the engine still in the car? I have a 205 with an Mi16 lump with a 1.9 Gti box just in case anything would be different. Thank you in advance. Si Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablister 31 Posted January 7, 2006 have you remembered the starter motor, 3 x 8mm allen key bolts? Also the one beside the diff is hidden. Some boxes are just held in with friction after all the bolts are removed so may just need a jerk to break the seal so could be just that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Si have a read on the main site - there are articles on both gearbox and clutch changing - neither need engine removal - should be a help and has piccy's Cheers Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
