I was bored lol plus it had to be done border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />

wish it had interior pics ill bet it has a spray painted light green dash with LED's everywhere. lol

lol im here to guide him lol!! the hardest bit will be stripping the gearbox, so i no1 has anything to wory about until then. It would maybe be better to have the gearbox done by a local garage that does them. Dave

a poor guy that needs some technical help? lol i sent him all the manuals he needs, he will be fine. Dave

hey sorry i havent got back to ya been busy busy. i put my car up on axle stands one notch up so i had plenty of room. Its not very hard to do jst takes a bit of to get familiar with everythin buildin it back up takes less time as you will kno where everythin goes. Im only 18 and i managed it no probs so im sure you will be fine. Dave

yeah u need to remove it, its the radio code tht you will lose but as u dont have a standard radio you will be fine. Dave

it wont matter if its an aftermarket head unit. Jst get cracked into it and c how you get on. Dave

emm wait n ill c cant c anythin about the radio code. dont you have the code? dave

thts the removal and installation manual for the gearbox sent

yeah i have the guide to dropping it and fittin it, ill send ya it in a sec. Dave

Dont kno if this photo is good enough but worth a try lol border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />

its not only your gearbox that has got problems lol

no its the digital manual that VW use i bought it off ebay. its really good covers everything you can think of. Dave

right your gonna need 8 point bits in a few sizes i cnt remeber exactly what sizes, your drive shafts have these bolts and some bolts inside the gearbox use these 8 point screwz. I used a trolley jack and fabricated a beam to support the engine whilst lowring it but u could probably get away with a good reliable trolley jack. You will need various sizes of spanners, sockets 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 drive. At the moment i think thats about it but if i think of anything else i will tell ya. If you send me an envelope with two blank dvd's and a postage payed envelope for the weight of the two blank dvd's i will send you the full VW lupo digital manual since im so nice lol.

you might be able to fix it without removing the box but i reckon its a removal job. Dave

that was building the box back up too mind you so would prob take an hour less if you were just fitting the repaired box no it took me 5 hours on tuesday night to disconnet all wiring, drive shafts, remove starter motor, diconnect exhaust at manifold, remove gear linkage and vaious other things it was prepped to be dropped on tuesday night and was dropped out after a few hours on wed morn.

i started it after my work so say about 6 and worked till about 11 ish, the next morning i had the gearbox out within a few hours it dont take that long to be honest. A garage will charge you alot to remove, repair and refit your gearbox. to fit it back in it took me from about 11am till about 7pm so not that long.

i recently removed my gearbox, it aint 2 hard i had 2 partially strip my gearbox if you follow the manual you cant go wrong. Dave

we may never kno lol you came up with any solutions from looking at the manual? Dave

thats the manual sent, ohh my god = OMG, Dave

PM me your email addy and i will send ya the dismantling and assemblin manual for the gearbox. Its copy and pasted onto word so it aint the best but it will give ya an idea. Dave

im starting to think tht, those bolts are only removed when the gearbox is getting stripped to a bare shell by the looks of things

those screws are reverse gear securing bolts! ill c if there is anyway of fixin this. Dave

i see where you are now, i will try and find out wat is up with it, Dave
