Re: 2.5td engine out

Personally I would drop the engine to the floor first then raise the vehicle. If you are on your drive way put a skid board down first .

And it will be a lot lighter to lift the body without the engine and gear box.

Re: Manual Gearbox Query

It would be worth checking that the withdrawal lever has clearance and not sticking.

Another way to check the strength of the clutch assay is to drive the vehicle at a fair speed keeping your foot on the accelerator , quickly dip the clutch and release. If the clutch is faulty you will know.
