340 Engine and gearbox removal
20.03.2012 at 10:07:33

Hi All
I need to remove the engine and auto gearbox from my 340. I am guessing that from the length of the unit bolted together it would appear I need to raise the front of the car a little or will this come out OK? Ramps would be too high as I wouldnt get the lift from the engine crane. If any of the forum members has done this I would welcome any advice.
Many thanks Terry

Hi, in the past I have always dropped the axle, then lowered the engine/gearbox down to the floor. If i remember right, to remove through the top, the angle you have to lift at rules out an ordinary engine crane (not enough lift) can be done with a high gantry or o'head crane. Been some years since I did one , but out the bottom was OK.
