[Rovernet] 1969 P6 2000TC

Hi Sean,

Glad you are in touch with wise minds and practical suggestions on Rovernet.

Have you considered whether you will take the gearbox out with the engine in 
place or the engine and gearbox together. There are advantages and 
disadvantages with both that others may comment on. You say you have the car 
"slung up". Do you mean its on a hoist? Can you get easy access underneath? 
In my experience removing the gearbox on its own is extremely difficult 
unless you have excellent access like a full height hoist with room for a 
helper. As I recall, it is necessary to tilt the engine which means removing 
various plumbing bits I wonder whether you will find it easier to remove 
both engine and gearbox. This will enable the type of maintenance Gianni 
refers to that is so much easier with the engine out. That is, removing the 
side plates and water pump and cleaning out the cooling system (that is 
likely to be full of rubbish with a car that old). It will also be easier to 
remove the flywheel if it needs to be machined. You will need to remove the 
radiator for an engine out and that gives you the opportunity to properly 
reverse flush it. When you fit the new clutch remember to use a tool to 
centre the clutch plate on the flywheel as you progressively tighten the 
pressure plate bolts. Otherwise connecting the two up again will be 
impossible. With the box out, consider renovating the guides for the gear 
selection rods. Good luck.
