yes jack i no the very bolts you mean there one that was a nightmare i had cut and shave a spanner just to get it to turn and yea i was stupid and forgot to take the gear stick out and was wondering was the box wouldn't come back anymore and i couldn't work out way lol. also getting my turbo back here as well getting rebuild with uprated internals
did u drop the mount off from under it after you broke the drive shaft free? if you didnt it helps. tilts the back of the engine down with the box for that little bit of extra room to get at the bolts, the just use a trolley jack to take the weight of the box, if you lose any of the gear box bolts i have a set of mine from when i broke the car still lying around somewhere.
