1. Remove 2 x 13mm bolts securing the gear change weight and withdraw it from the gear box. This will prevent the gearbox snagging on the sub frame when the engine / gearbox is dropped down.

2. Pop both gear selector cables at their ends by twisting in one direction with a pair of pliers.

3. Remove both gear selector cables from their locations by levering up on the metal u shaped tags. The cables can now be cable tied to somewhere on the bulkhead.

4. Remove the 2 x 13mm bolts securing the clutch release hydraulic mechanism from the top of the gearbox. Once removed pull the plastic tip off and secure the plunger from popping out by putting a cable tie around it. Note the route the clutch pipe takes going under the gear box mount as you will need to know once the new engine goes back in.

5. Working from underneath the car, remove the 3 x 13mm bolts securing the exhaust downpipe to the manifold. This can now be bent to either the left or right and cable tied to the back of the subframe. Dont be shy to bend it quite far at the flexi, You need enough clearance so the engine does not crush it on the way down.
