Clutch change / gearbox removal

Hello fellas,

So it turns out my clutch on my T2 gave up the ghost on Tuesday morning, so i'm in the process of removing the transaxle to swap in a new one. I've had a search around here, but couldn't find much in the way of tips and tricks for a quick and easy removal of the box. I usually always work to a workshop manual for any of my cars, but I don't happen to have one for my City.

Any pointers would be well appreciated. i.e. what's suspension bits should be unbolted, and what's best left alone.

Cheers

I can probably post a copy of the relevant pages from my Civic workshop manual if you like?

Would be welcomed James! I've got the shafts out yesterday, now need to take a closer look at how the box pops off and what needs to be unhooked

Hugely helpful, thanks! I am perplexed why you need to remove the engine mount bolts, though i'm sure i'll discover why. I was also sus on whether it was OK to remove the cross member without supporting the engine first, which I now have the answer to.
