Disconnect the speedometer drive from the gearbox.
Disconnect the control cable from the clutch release forks.
Remove the elastic gearbox ventilation hose from the hole in the body side member.

If necessary, remove the exhaust system brackets and fasteners.
Remove the clutch housing cover.
Disconnect the gear shift rod from the gear selector shaft.
Unscrew the stabilizer from the gearbox (Fig. 3.6).
Dismount the ball joints of the suspension columns on both sides of the vehicle and disconnect the columns from both wishbones. In vehicles with an anti-skid system in the brake system (SCS - ABS), the following additional steps must be taken:
Disconnect the electrical wire connector plug from the sensor (see Fig. 3.7).
Remove the belt drive cover.
Remove the wheel speed sensor (SCS) (Fig. 3.8).

Lower the engine as low as its suspension allows. Unscrew the rear gearbox suspension nuts (Fig. 3.10).
Unscrew the rear mounting studs from the box.
Remove the lower gearbox housing flange mounting bolts.
The gearbox is installed in the reverse order. In this case, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the recommended tightening torques of the bolts and nuts. The method for adjusting the gear coupling mechanism was described in the section 2.1 "Engine Replacement".
