    Yeah, I had to destroy the old pipes to get them out (They were buggered anyway) but now ive left myself wondering how to get the new ones in properly without buggering things?

    Any advice or ideas would be nice, just to clarify things ive got a 1996 VS berlina Ecotech, and i'm talking about the inlet and outlet pipes ont he drivers side of the transmission.

    mechanic has it now, Its on a hoist, its getting done properly, I'm happy with that this time, I tried jacking the tranny up a bit fromt he back, the problem was getting the pipes past that damned exhaust
