   fitting a new cllutch and have done everything apart from take the gearbox out, as it lowers it brings the engine down too.
   
   took of the 3 bolts and the surround on the ride hand side under the battery, what else holds the gearbox to the engine? does anyone know?
   
   Many thanks

   theres 3 hex bolts 2 at either side at the top and 1 near the crank sensor, and 3 bolts that hold the starter aswell
