I really do hate

Pulsars!
3 hours I have been trying to get this fucking gearbox to line up ffs.
I just can't get the shaft to go in
I have a spare shaft and that goes in with no drama so it's just a case of lining the fucking thing up.
It looks like the gearbox is in the right position.
I have given up!
I don't have any free time until next week now so I'm going to sulk about it for a few days lol
Fucking awkward lying on your back and trying to adjust the jack and balance the gearbox at the same time Aghhhhhhhhhhh
Anyways. Rant over. Fucking wank shit bastard cunt in arse hole twatting pulsars

But when you do get it back on it feels like a victory.Stick with it and remember No pain no gain ;-)

Give it a ruddy good thrashing.

Lol I now have tomorrow free so will will give it another go in the morning.
I have been throwing it around on the jack like a mad man. My arms are killing me now lol
I have jacked the car up and down and the engine too and still couldn't get it in lol
Gonna borrow my brothers jack so I can jack both the engine and gearbox together so they both line up..

Lol nothing worse than getting dead arms trying to get the feckers to line up!

I couldn't lift the fucker any more mate lol
I did more farting than anything tho. Every time I pushed to lift the box I fatted hahaha I need to keep off the curry I think

I'm just waiting for shroom to drop a joke about your shaft not going in

Sod all that messing about on the floor. I gave up that sort of stuff when i was younger, only ever do stuff on a ramp now lol

Sounds like another pair of hands are required, although the extra jack will help, good luck with it.

Thanks Danny. I know you said you would mate. I apreciate the offer! I do like to get on and do it myself tho. I often get in my own way lol

My brother popped over and had a quick go at it just a bit ago and he had the same problem.
He noticed I still had the rear bracket attached to the transfer box that holds the stabiliser.
He told me to remove that as he thinks the box is hitting that.

I should have it sorted tomorrow

It took me 2hrs even when i had the engine amd box out the car, was fucking me right off. Then all of a sudden it just pops on....and then you realise you forgot the spacer and you have to start again.....what a cunt!!

Does piss you off sometimes doesn't it lol
I need to remember to scrape the sealant I put on. Off and put fresh on before I offer it up again.

Yeah I feel your pain Stu lol. I fitted the replacement tubby took ages then after about 5o miles the elbow came loose as the studs had rattled themselves out so had to take it all off again and fit decent washers to stop it. Didnt think about it at the time but doing things twice is a pita!

There's one good thing about rhe gearbox coming off and thats I have found a load of loose and missing bolts.
The screamer pipe was missing a bolt and the gasket had moved over the piston hole. So I guess that's what was stopping me running more boost?
Plus the gearbox specialist said that when he took my gearbox apart one of the gears wasn't spinning free and it had scorched the shaft.
Plus on that shaft. What ever is at the top to stop the gears coming off. Was missing.
So atleast some other things have been sorted at the same time.

Just hope the gearbox goes on okay tomorrow.

Stu, get someone else to try rotating the crank pulley as your pushing the gearbox back on it worked for me last time when I was struggling to get the bastard back on

Thanks spike. I will give it a go.
When my brother popped over I did try turning it but had no luck. I'm gonna remove the bracket first and go from there.
My son is off school now so he can kinda help me.

That sucks mate, hopefully you get sorted soon. Fitting a gearbox can be a bitch of a job
