I have to replace the gearbox mount on my early 203 and i have disconnected what i believe to be necessary.
The main 4 allen key bolts going through the union behind the universal had nuts at the other end which got me for a bit but i got on to those.
The engine is not dropping as low as i would like as i would prefer a straight line to the torque tube to withdraw it. Anyway i pulled it back a bit and then had a look and realised the universal was coming out of the gearbox and i can sight the speedo drive gear perhaps?
I have stopped at this point to try and rectify the problem but i think i need to get the engine down at the bag to get it in line and i may need to loosen off the engine mounts or perhaps the exhaust brackets need removed first.
Has anyone had any experience with the early 203 setup? I intend to replace the gearbox mount and the seal from the diff.
Hopefully i am in the correct forum.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards John
