Ihav spent most of the morning trying to get the four bolts in that
hold the gearbox of my BMC powered Turner in Has anybody found an
easier way to do it.
Once
the engine mounting bolts are done up loosly the mounts on the gearbox
appear to be about 1/4 inch out of line. My car has not been bent and
this could be due to me having fitted a later ribbed gearbox. I put a
small jack between the tailshaft tunnel and the back of the gearbox and
jack it into line but it means that when everthing is done up both sets
of mounting rubbers appear to be slightly out of alignment. Also it is
bastard of job to get the four bolt in through the mounting and into
the gearbox casing. Has anybody ever tried slotting the yoke so that
the two 9/16 bolts just slot in from the top having done the other four
bolts up while it is out on the floor. Would this weaken the yoke. I
also noticed that the rear of the gearbox (Tailshft) is 15mm off centre
although nothing seem to be bent.Any help with this job would be
apprecited
