Captain Tom

Morning, the guy I got the 5 speed from has a close ratio 4 speed with an aluminum bell housing he wants to sell. Can put you in contact with him if anyone’s interested. Tom

Checked the master/slave cylinder for function they seem to operate correctly. I will attempt to pull engine and transmission as a unit. Assume they come out the bottom?

Christopher thanks for your reply. Don’t know if I want to turn loose my transmission. May have a lead on another 4 speed. Will chase it down and let you know. I am told my transmission is a close ratio 4 speed. Engine is a pre cross flow 1504. Slave cylinder is exposed. Held in place by a single “circlip”.

I just purchased a 1962 Lotus 7. The clutch is virtually impossible to push. Figure it had a "racing" pressure plate installed by the last owner. I would very much like to pull the transmission put a "standard" pressure plate and clutch in and add a 5 speed transmission. I am not seeing a way forward for getting the transmission out. There does not appear to be enough room to move the engine forward and detach the trans nor does there seem to be enough room to push the trans aft enough to separate it that way. My question is how is this normally done? Thanks
