Removal
The gearbox can be removed from the underside of the car, so the body must be properly supported on jacks. A mobile car jack is required to support the gearbox. It does not matter how the body is supported on jacks, but it must always be taken into account that powerful jack stands must be installed under the frame.
Disconnect the negative terminal cable from the battery. If a radio station is installed, you must know the anti-theft protection system code. Before doing this, turn off the ignition (you need to wait 20 seconds after turning off).
Place a car jack under the transmission. Even better, you can lift the engine out of its mounts using a hoist and cable.
Be sure to disconnect all electrical cables from the transmission.
Disconnect the gear shift cables from the gearbox side and unscrew the bracket on the box wall.
To remove the clutch receiving cylinder, you need to unscrew the shift cable with the handle from the wall of the gearbox.
Disconnect the tachometer coil spring from the gearbox.
Remove the bolts between the engine and gearbox on the top side.
Unscrew the stand and the rubber-metal support.
Unscrew the bolt from the lower rubber-metal support. Since the anti-lock braking system is installed, access to these bolts is quite difficult. If this is still necessary, then it is necessary to remove the expansion tank of the cooling system. After this, carefully, using a replaceable socket head of a wrench with an extension and a joint with a crosspiece, unscrew the bolts.
Remove the front bracket bolt.
Now, using a lifting mechanism, lift the engine out of the suspensions. Make sure that no part remains under mechanical stress or force.
Remove the starter and front bracket.
Move the power steering hoses to the rubber-metal supports of the front bracket and secure them to them.
Unscrew the auxiliary frame counterweight.
If there is a thermal insulation sheet installed for the inner right constant velocity joint, unscrew it from the engine.
Unscrew the left and right drive shafts on the inside. It is essential to use the correct set of wrenches for these bolts, as they have multi-tooth heads with internal slots.
Turn the wheels to the right until they stop. Tie the shafts securely with a cord or wire in an appropriate manner to keep them out of the way.

Unscrew the gearbox suspension supports and the suspension bracket from the gearbox. Press the engine and gearbox from the front end and unscrew the lower bolt from the suspension bracket.
Unscrew the cover plate under the flywheel housing.
Remove all lower bolts between the engine and transmission.
Using a tire lever, pry the transmission away from the engine and remove the transmission. This requires two people.
Carefully place the gearbox on the floor.
Installation
The gearbox is installed in the reverse order of gearbox removal, observing the following points.
Apply graphite powder to the fine splines of the drive shaft.
Press the clutch release lever towards the gearbox housing and secure it with a 22mm long M8 bolt. After installing the gearbox, remove this bolt and tighten the hole with a plug.
Mount all gearbox and engine mounts without mechanical stress.
Establish a connection.
Tighten the bolts between the engine and gearbox to a torque of 80 Nm. All other tightening torques are given in the tables of dimensions and adjustments.
