Technical Rear gearbox mount

[g4jvf]

Seicento Sporting 1.1 SPI yr2000 65K on clock

Changed my gearbox oil this morning.
Nearly bloomin froze to death in the cold wind
Used just over 1.5 litres of this stuff before it trickled over the filler hole.

Old oil was really grey and disgusting..

Anyhoo, whilst I was under there, I noticed the rubber in the rear gearbox mount
looked a bit out of shape.
Will get a replacement on order but what's the best way of doing that job?
Once it's up on ramps and gearbox supported on jack, is it best to remove the
big mount bracket and change the mount off car or can it be easily done with
leaving the big bracket on..

I found it easier to remove the bracket.

:yeahthat:

Sometimes it can be done without removing the bracket, but I find the take it all off way easier.

Remember, remember, "shiny side up" or new bush will be fubar within a month!

Right, will take the lot off...

Shiny side up it is then
