Gearbox mount - much hassle to change?

My gearbox mount (at the back, right hand side of the engine) is in a right state, and needs changing. Never having done one before, can anyone tell me if it's much trouble to change?

 

what car u got mate? mine was changed and it wasnt that much hassle, as long as you got the tools.

Mk2 8v....... so it should be easy enough? I had visions of taking the engine out......

 

No but one from gsf has a slightly larger diameter. It just makes it a bit harder to slide in. All u need to do is loosen the fron and under the back 1 then jack the box up.

Hope that helps

 

Great stuff, cheers lads!

 

i found it helped to whip of the exp tank..then undo the gearbox bit that it bolts to..its only 3 bolts,easy job with a trolley jack

 

bet its a little more awkward on a vr6?

 

did mine on my 8v, only took about 1hr to do! not much hassle at all, the old 1 was proper mashed, had split, grease everywhere!

 

Cheers all - I'll see you all at the pearly gates. Free tickets for all. Now if anyone can diagnose my problem further down the page, I'll supply all the nubile young virgins you can handle. Deal?

 

ah, yeah, now i think about it its probably the other back one that looks impossible on a vr6
