Persuasion given and off it popped. Thanks. One final question. Everything is off and the box is loose but it will not move far enough out to clear. There is a green cap on the end of the box that ...

Do you have to take the off side drive shaft out? If you do how does it come out it does not seem to pull?

Once this one is out does the box require any force to remove it or can it just be pulled off?

I change the oil annually with a synthetic oil. Is it worth having the box reconditioned or gamble on a secondhand one? Is it expensive?

I think this will be the best way to do it, to raise the gearbox up and out. I appreciate your help. Is there enough play to remove the OS drive shaft without removing the steering rod? I assume the ...

Thanks for the advice, so the gearbox will move far enough out the way to see what you are doing. This must mean you do not have to remove the off side drive shaft, which would be a saving. If I did ...

My girlfriend has a 2L 16V 1995 Megane, how easy is the clutch replacement on this? Does it require the whole engine to be removed?

Thanks
