T O P I C R E V I E W | Redsaabs | Posted - 20 Feb 2018 : 20:14:15 Hi chaps,
My gearbox for the 96 l am currently restoring has a damaged end plate in that the hole for the bolt that secures the gearbox mount has a damaged end/thread. I am considering the option of replacing the end plate with a good one and would appreciate advice on whether fitting another end plate is a simple or difficult operation.....all comments appreciated.......thanks Paul

Not too difficult if you have a good manual, and obviously much easier on a bench with the boy split from the engine! You'll need a new gasket for both covers.
