Re: BELLHOUSING REPAIR
Let us try a translation shall we? My guess is, can I replace the shifter nosecone without dropping the engine?
My answer which was recently asked on this forum and can be found with a simple search is yes but it would be better to remove both engine and trans and replace shift seal, shifter lever and new gaskets. Do it right, it is a 20 year 50k plus mile event.

If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

Sorry, David, but I see no way to pull the nose piece off the trans without removing the engine.David Jones wrote: ↑Thu Dec 17, 2020 9:56 am Let us try a translation shall we? My guess is, can I replace the shifter nosecone without dropping the engine?

Re: BELLHOUSING REPAIR
I have done it Vic but as I say it is not recommended. It was 50 years ago and I had little choice. I also welded the shifter lever with a stick welder. BMM935A in the UK I think you are defunct.

Re: BELLHOUSING REPAIR
Eric, surely that is not the question. Replacement of the mounts is an obvious task I would think.

Re: BELLHOUSING REPAIR
You will never be defunct in my book Vic but my first 356 probably is. License plates in the UK stay with the car until it is scrapped.

Re: BELLHOUSING REPAIR
Geez, David, I wish I had known about that before I voted for Vic in the last election.
Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.....
