Overdrive gearbox mounting removal


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I've currently got the gearbox out of my CR series TR6, to try and stop an oil leak.. Hopefully that is cured, but while its out I was planning to replace the standard rear gearbox mounts..

 

The trouble is I can't seem to get at the nut on the underside!

Do I need to remove the whole mounting plate?

Whichever way I try and get at a bolt the other side always seems to be inacessible!

Maybe I just need to keep trying, but is there a knack to it?

 

It's a standard late CR series overdrive gearbox, not one from a converted saloon, as far as I know.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Richard,

This is a nasty job but it is possible if you're patient. I have changed the mounts on my gearbox whilst it was out for a clutch replacement. I found that by spending time cleaning out all of the accumulated muck and oil access was a lot easier physically and visually. It is well worth changing the mounts especially if they have been soaked in oil previously.

Good luck, Peter
