Great project. It's something I would like to do one day when I've finished all my other ones. I think I would go for a 6speed manual.
Please post some photos which will help others in the future.
Thanks .... well I will do my best, but the gearbox transplant is the same as factory, so no difference from the workshop manual.
No corners cut as everything has been factory produced, just a case of finding the right bits, as the info from what it exactly came from, vin even engine model was unknown, so a few hurdles along the way.
So got the back up now on axle stands too, dropped h/brake cable, cleaned waxol from chassis and will get the old h/brake brackets out the way, I am looking for the haldex subframe position, no dimples or pre-drilled holes on cross bracing, but I just found some pics on haldex subrame location, it doesn't sit in the centre of the rear brace, but almost overhangs the brace with the large bonded mounts, so located off centre of brace to the rear, front haldex mount i am unsure.
I also need to collect the exhaust system, cat, dpf even bit over rear axle, from the same vehicle the transmission and running gear came from ... just found out I can have them,
so it's euro6 cat/dpf .... no blue rinse though, so I will just block those bungs off, another trip to middle england again... unless anyone has a courier running midland to south east ...??
