Place the vehicle on a lift or inspection pit. Raise the hood and lock it in this position. Before removing the gearbox, disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery, drain the oil from the gearbox (see "Gearbox oil change") and remove the starter (see "Removing and installing the starter").
1. Disconnect the clutch drive cable from the clutch release fork and remove it from the bracket on the gearbox (see "Replacing the clutch release cable").
2. Bend back the plastic retainer and disconnect the wiring harness connector from the speed sensor.
3. Using a 10 mm spanner, unscrew the three bolts securing the front clutch housing cover…
4. …and remove the lid.
5. Place a secure support under the engine or lift it using a lifting mechanism.
6. Remove the rear support of the power unit (see "Replacing the powertrain supports").
7. Press the plastic retainer and disconnect the wiring harness connector from the reverse light switch.
8. Using a 10 mm spanner, unscrew the bolt securing the gear shift drive hinge housing to the gear selection rod…
9. …and disconnect the gear selection rod from the rod together with the joint.
10. Using a 17 mm spanner, unscrew the two bolts securing the torque rod bracket.
11. Remove the wheel drives (see "Removing and installing front wheel drives"). The right drive does not need to be removed completely. It is enough to disconnect it from the gearbox and, moving it to the side, hang it on the body.
Caution! Disconnect the right drive only after removing the front clutch housing cover (see points 3 and 4), otherwise, you can bend the cover with a mounting blade, and the flywheel will touch it.
Attention! Do not disconnect both drives at the same time, as this may cause the axle gears to shift in the differential, making it impossible to install the drives without disassembling the gearbox. If it is necessary to disconnect both drives, after disconnecting one of them, insert a technological plug or the old housing of the inner joint in its place and tie the plug or housing to the gearbox with wire so that they do not fall out when removing the gearbox. After this, disconnect the second drive
12. Install a secure support under the gearbox.
13. Using a 19 mm spanner, unscrew the two bolts that secure the upper gearbox to the engine. Bolt 1 (front in the direction of vehicle travel) – short, bolt 2 – long.
14. Using a 19 mm spanner, unscrew the nut on the right lower mount of the gearbox to the engine (from the engine side).
15. Using a 19 mm spanner, unscrew the bolt securing the left lower gearbox to the engine.
16. Move the gearbox as far back as possible (the primary shaft must disengage from the clutch). While holding the gearbox, remove the support and remove the gearbox from under the car.
Caution! Do not rest the gearbox input shaft on the clutch pressure spring petals to avoid damaging them.
17. Install the gearbox and all removed parts and assemblies in the reverse order of removal.
Note: Before installing the gearbox, we recommend lubricating the splines of the input shaft and the outer surface of the clutch release bearing guide sleeve with a thin layer of consistent grease.
Note: Use a special mandrel to check how the clutch driven disc is centered (see "Removing and installing the clutch")
18. If necessary, restore the initial setting of the clutch release cable (see "Replacing the clutch release cable") and adjust the gearbox control drive (see "Adjusting the gearbox control drive").
19. Fill the gearbox with oil (see "Gearbox oil change").
