Dear all - I'm in the process of replacing the gearbox - bearings rather worn = at least 2 inches play at the end of the input shaft.
On removing the gear box the rear mounting fell into two pieces. The mounting was a bit of a bodge as instead of fixing to the proper mount on the rear of the overdrive it was fixed using some of the studs where the overdrive case splits - not ideal as the bolts were a loose fit - explains some of the EP 90 on the chassis.
I've purchased the proper mounting - however it appears to coincide with the chassis member - so I moved the engine/gearbox forward a inch or 2 ( not too hard as the engine mounts are handed) - looked good - mounting resting on the appropriate bracket. However the propshaft is now too short!
Any suggestions? what have other people done?
Regards
Nick
