Looking at it I would have thought it’d be easier just to remove the engine and box complete, seen this done on someone’s driveway before with relative ease.
Relative is very inconsistent...

Drivers side turbo had to come off to get to a bellhousing bolt. Some braided turbo lines were in the way and a bitch to get past. Dont look original to me so might be easier on a stock car. All came out after that 'relatively' important bolt.
Just didnt fancy taking the whole lump out , but there was a couple of bolts which could have forced me to, so certainly be prepared to take the whole lot out if luck is not on your side

The jack for the gearbox is on pit floor yes , one of those tall ones . The box is one heavy mot##fker. On paper there is around 60kilo difference between auto and 01e . Gonna weigh them both and get an accurate figure with fluids etc,
