Sideways Tim Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Dunno about the overdrive, but it's easy enough without. Gearbox tunnel cover out from the insde. Drop the propshaft off completely and then undo the seven hundered and forty two bolts around the bell housing. Off it comes from inside the car :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
