- VS Ecotec - V6 manual
Hi Guys. Got a VS Ecotec - V6 Manual.
I have a coolant leak from the rear plate so I've decided to have a crack at replacing it myself. (also replacing leaking slave cylinder).
Hoping for some detailed info about the process.
I have the exhaust off. I think next steps are 1. drain off trans fluid. 2. remove Tail Shaft. 3. Then release the gear shifter from the box (there's 2 clips to remove?..I can see 1 easy).
Pic 1 - Which is filler? And the plug on bottom must be drainer?
Pic 2 - Just remove the 3 bolts (yellow arrow) touching rubber?
Pic 3 - Just remove the 4 nuts (are these lock-nuts or anything tricky?)?
Pic 4 - Any tricks to getting these clips off? Each have a different type of clip?
