Can anyone let me know the best way to disconnet the gearbox from the prop shaft to remove gearbox & engine in one. Ive got it all ready to go but wondered if there is an easy way or a system. I want to be able to drop it back in relatively easy...if its poss!

Thanks

remove the bolts from the prop bearing carrier and then the 4 bolts which are holding the props together,then simply pull out.(drain oil first)

ok great, thanks roscop....i'll look at that.. Can anyone tell me how to deal with the gear linkage? TBH i havent looked at it that close, and have never attempted the linkage before. Is it the screwdriver in the gaiter job!? Maybe there is a quick way so I dont have to spend hours trying to put it back right...

if you get under the car and see were the linkage joins the box, there are 2 bolts that need undoing then the linkage comes off. Be careful not to loose the plastic washers which are in the linkage part attached to the gearbox selector shaft.
