motor didnt come out, i dropped the gearbox and transfer as a unit and slid out, slid auto and transfer under and up. remember there are no modifications to mount the box, its a straight swap on the same mounts and use the same tail shafts. However i did have to turn down the output shaft of the auto[held in with 1 bolt] to fit all the way in the defender transfer case[slightly different length spline/shaft depth] but if you use a disco transfer case there is no need, you can do the mod with a grinder very carefully. It is a very easy conversion then you have to work out where you want your t bar[cable so it can go anywhere within reach] and the fiddliest bit is setting the kick down cable at the pump- i had to stop on the side of the road about 5 times to get the adjustment right-the kick down controls the box changes and is the difference between super smooth and rough.
