Hi was just wondering if you can take the 2l 20v engine out of a marea with out the gear box or dose that have to come out it its a 2001 modal thanks in advance

No personal experience, but it is a long lump. It will almost certainly be easier to remove as one piece as you will probably not have the clearance to move the engine away from the box for the clutch to clear its housing.

I doubt very much that you'll be able to separate the two inside the engine bay. I used to have one and there isn't much room in there.

Hi, and welcome,

Bravo / a section will be busiest place for direct experience info..

battery tray off is usually a good way to aid access / visibility
