Je crois que là http://7faq.com/owbase/ow.asp?HowDoI%2FRem...2DSeriesEngines ils disent d'enlever le levier de vitesse.
<i>I'm about to remove the engine/gearbox from my car for some work on the engine/clutch - I've a few questions below but any other useful tips greatly received:
What holds the gearbox in? Is it just the one big bolt going up through the tail on the box?
Yes - you'll need to remove the gearstick, speedo drive and the wires to the reversing switch if you have one from the box before removing it. Don't forget to remove all the wires for things like oil pressure sender, starter, alternator. It's easier to undo the two little bolts holding the mount onto the chassis and leave the single big bolt in place, however, you will need to remove the engine mounts off the engine at some point, as they stick out and can easilly dent the body panels
Does the propshaft just slide out of the 'box when the box moves forward?
Yes - but may need a fair bit of pulling
Does the back of the car need raising to avoid the tail of the gearbox hitting the floor?
It's a good idea to get the back of the car up in the air, it makes removing the engine/gearbox assembly much easier. If you don't drain the gearbox then the oil will pour out of the rear as you tilt it up.
Where's the best place on the engine/box to attach the hoist to?
I use one strap around the bellhousing, and one strap fed round the engine between cyls 2&3 - make sure the strap is inboard of any fragile ancillaries - everyone seems to have their own way of doing it.
Other than the clutch is there anything else that should be replaced while the engine is out?
Replace the engine and gearbox mounts. Replace clutch release bearing
Other Points:
If you are limited for space it is easier to leave the car on its wheels, and roll the car out from under the engine.
Be very careful putting the gearbox back on the engine as it is easy to destroy the spigot bearing in the end of the crank </i>
