[@alexboodram3942]

Question...i undid the 6 bolts and left my clutch n pressure plate on the gearbox and pulled the engine..when i put the engine back in will it be easier to line up...tryna avoid taking off the ring

Honestly, I've never heard of someone trying it that way. You might find it difficult to line up the shaft with the flywheel without damaging the pilot bearing. You might also have issues compressing the pressure plate evenly when resecuring it to the flywheel. Maybe give it a shot and follow up with us. Perhaps we can all learn something new!

Funny enough this is the only way I’ve done it, I never knew you could remove the gearbox without undoing the 6 bolts and removing the gearbox with the clutch and disk. Thank you for this though. Learn something new everyday i’ll try this next time!
