Title: Help to remove wiring loom
Post by drawlings on Oct 20^th, 2007, 11:00am

Hi all, I am bit stuck on how to remove the loom from the gearbox end. Is there away to remove and disconect without have to take the exhaust off and lower the gearbox without having to remove it.

Not really.
It should have some clips that fix it to the top of the box.
They stop you :P

only going on my own experance here but i had to drop the box down,

1. because of the clips howiedintheplace said
and
2. the plug doesnt fit through the gap between the box and the transmission tunnel

Cheers Matt, did you remove the gearbox? or is there a bracket you can lowerto allow the gearbox to drop and give you enough room to get the clips in etc...

Just undo the gearbox surport + take off the heat shields.
The box should drop a bit.
Then try, keep removing more parts until you can actually remove it, remembering you have to refit it again one day.
Don't forget the VSS & rear exhaust sensor connectors ;)
