Engine and gearbox removal?

[Ginge81990]

Does any one have an engine removal guide?

I need this just for reference purposes. I have done virtually everything but i cant figure out how to undo the round wiring connector just to the right of the inlet manifold to seperate the loom.



P.S. Either blew my gearbox or clutch up on Monday night so pulling my plans forward a month so replacing rods at the same time.

the top part of the plug twists and then the bottom is released can be quite tight

Cheers Engine is all out now. Clutch was the problem. Techniclutch are getting a right bollocking by me on the phone and email just now.

Who all else has had trouble with techniclutch?

Me! Mine was slipping and I sent it back to them, they wouldn't offer me a refund and said there was nothing wrong with the clutch! I'd stay well away from them...

They claimed a rating for an 'uprated' clutch to be around the same as what the standard clutch can take... IMO they had a 15 year old paint the cover plate red and sell it for 2x the price! They still have my clutch and I'vev lost interest now! Bought Helix 6 PUK, never had any issues with it, awesome clutch.

ah ok well i sent them the pictures of the clutch and told them what happend and they said they will send me a brand new plate. i told them no because i don't believe the clutch is up to spec and the fact i had(n't) spent so much on labour to have it removed again i want the next rating up the paddle clutch which they claim is rated to upwards of 350BHP and TQ haha. they initially said no but now they have said yes and it is on its way to me. will let you know how it works out.
