im planning to buy a used gear box to replace my dead one on a 55sx.
what i need to know is, is it possible to lift up or is it too heavy? i need to know coz i will have to collect it. cheers
 
yeah you'll be able to lift it, but holding it in place when you fit it is very dangerous, get a trolley jack and a piece of wood to raise it into place when fitting. i've had a gearbox roll off the jack and onto my chest, that isnt a good thing at all, so make sure you take your time and do it carefully. if the gearbox has been sat in a scrapyard or off the car for some time its worth flushing it out with some cheap gearbox fluid mixed with engine flush prior to fitting.
 
Thanks for the advice lads, u have saved me a small fortune in courier fees.
