Azrael Regular Location: Crapberra Registered: September 2003	Re: gearbox swap Sun, 26 October 2003 10:51 I did a Auto to Manual swap in an RA40 in one weekend! Only cost me about $50 as I had a whole one for spares. A few tips if you're going to do it though: 1. (and the most important) Hire a transmition jack for positioning the gearbox (we tried with a set of three wheel jacks and bricks, safe I know It was a nightmare to locate the spline) 2. I got a mechanic with a rattle gun to loosed all the bolts on the bell housing then drove it home (make sure it's not too far a drive though) this helped a whole heap as some of those suckers are really hard to get too if you don't have the right tool. 3. Be prepared to hate the smell of oil and gear oil! Hope this helps you avoid a few mistakes [Report message to a moderator]
