I am trying to remove a gearbox from an engine.
I have removed the clutch basket, plates etc and hav a big silver drum facing me.
can anyone advise on how i get the engine removed further?
(I have a sump bowl available if someone needs one.
and scratched but not leaking rh casing

I don't remember any big silver drums in mine? (And I only did the gearbox last weekend).

There is a link to a downloadable haynes manual somewhere around here.
