Engine and gearbox - how hard to fit to car?

[1795]

Glen,

When I have to pull the engine on my MGB race car the transmission has to come out with it and go back in with it attached, as like you car the tub is solid and there is nothing to remove. With the MGB I have to remove the radiator in order to gain enough room to tilt the engine/transmission combo in and the slowly change the angle and move the unit towards the rear of the car. You will be alternating at times between dropping the tail of the transmission and raising it as you slowly move the unit in place. This is where the leveler becomes very handy. Just crack the relief valve a little bit at a time until you just start to see some movement and then be ready to tighten quickly.

Good luck.
