I am in the process of replacing my flywheel. I am
ready to drop the gearbox, but I don't see how I can
get to the upper bolts that connect the engine to the
gearbox? There are 14 of them , the RAVE says to
"lower gearbox sufficiently to access bell housing
bolts". This is not making sense to me. If I try and
lower the gearbox before I remove the bolts that
attach it to the engine, won't the engine restrict the
drop and wouldn't it seem that it could cause some
damage??? I really could use some help, I have to get
it out Sunday or I am SOL.

Thanks,
Eric
