	Liam Crilly: the technique I used was to use two jacks under the box, in the same position as it came out, then gave it a good shove once it was lined up with the engine. One person on each jack is very helpful at this point. Use the bolts to pull the gearbox onto the engine dowels but be careful not to pull it on squint.

			When you refit the clutch slave bracket to the gearbox housing remember that the bolts are M10 fine thread, if you use normal M10 bolts you will strip then out and have to tap the holes for M12 or helicoil.

== Rover PG1 ==
The [[Rover PG1 gearbox]] is relatively easy to remove from the Elise, but I don't know what the access is like with the 340R tub.

You need to:

* remove undertray and engine cover
* disconnect battery
* remove slave cylinder, starter motor, gearbox earth strap and gearchange cables
* drain box oil
* pop driveshafts from box
* remove wishbones/upright assembly/driveshaft on near side
* remove ball joint carrier from top of upright on offside
* pull offside driveshaft clear of box
* support engine under sump with a trolley jack
* remove gearbox mount bolt/nut
* remove engine steady bar from subframe and sump
* remove bolts holding black gearbox mount to casing (complete bitch to access, may help if you jack the box higher or if you're double-jointed!) and remove the mount
* remove bolts holding box to engine - you may need to remove your exhaust manifold to get access to the two in the sump
* separate box from engine - its held in by dowels
* looking from near side, rotate the box about 90 deg
* lower the block such that the box drops down
* at this point the box should sort of fall out!

I may have forgetten a vital step - its been a while since I've removed one! You may also need to unbolt the engine mount from the chassis and slide the whole assembly to the offside to allow the box to drop

Re-fitting is the reverse of removal....

Except it takes a while to get the box back onto the engine!
