swapping gearbox what do I need and ...

Ok I'll confess it wasn't all plain sailing.
The first pic is after I emptied the oil from the box and transfer case I was removing the prop shafts and knocked the oil pan :blush:

The next pic is me not realising just how much weight is in a 3.5 V8 and I didn't secure the engine enough. When it moved back after removing the box the strap pulled a nice bend in the crossbar of the engine bay :blush:

I'm glad this one is the donor.
I''d best be more careful with mine.

Can you teach me that knot?:D

Sorry.

Cheers
Simon

Plus I got a replacement gearbox for next to nothing.

Hey, does anyone know what causes these probs or how to fix them? Mine does the same - side movement in gear and won't go into 2nd or 4th sometimes. Forced it in one day and promptly heard the sweet sound of a gear tooth bouncing around the g/box - won't do that again!!!

But i don't really feel like pulling the g/box out - again...
