T O P I C R E V I E W | SAAB96L | Posted - 15 Oct 2021 : 10:17:52 Hello,
The engine is just about ready to be extracted and obviously the g/box needs supporting - it is staying put.
Am I right in thinking that a piece of wood, the correct size, is simply placed between the g/box and the engine bay floor pan to give that support ??
I cannot see another alternative.
Grateful for your advice.
Thank you.

Works out well for me, as I will need to move the car around the workshop and that can be a faff when gearboxes are not removed with some other marques and models.
Regards.
