Easiest way to get 5 speed gearbox in
I have changed a few boxes in VL's usually i tilt the engine back so i can fit the bellhousing, anyone know of any easier way? I have been told if i take everything off it i can flip it upside down and it will fit straight in, is this the easiest way?

flip what upside down?
as u stated tilt the motor slightly.
but it can b done quite easily with some manipulation can get it in quite quickly

turn the car upside down?
yeah........ found my problem anyway, i just put a RB30 out of a skyline in my VL and the brackets that are on the bottom of the engine to bolt your bellhousing too are different and stopping me from tilting the engine. Thought it was the new engine mounts haha

I just drive to China, that way the car is upside down when I get there, and it's cheaper labor :P

Not really since you take the shifter out to remove the box.... it stopped raining yesterday and i put the box in, was a lot easier when i turned it upside down. gave me more room in the tranny tunnel.
mate you must have strong arma to lay under a car then rotate the box and put all bolts in
NEEDS MORE POWER!
that would be handy if you were a pipe layer. Lol.
OP I hope you turned it back over again.
as to the thread title easiest way, hoist and trans stand FTW, it pays to have mates that run a workshop.
Nobody wants to play with me
I actually had a mate help me lift it but the guy that told me to turn it upside down does it by himself no worries.
