Well, you won't be able to separate the engine from the gearbox without removing the clutch. Make sure you do this _before_ removing the power plant from the car, or it's a real bitch without hydraulics. You can probably lever the fingers individual and put spacers in (washers or coins) but that's not the ideal by any means. > False hope? Fraid so. What's the current state of what's where and what works? Dave
