Hi Robbie as you remove the failed engine and gearbox simply transfer the automatic G'box related parts to the host engine after removing the bits from it that are in the way.....

Hi Robbie once you have the removed engine and gearbox parted on the floor and the host engine alongside it is less theory and more fact..having the tools and equipment to remove the grill radiator and bonnet catch crossmember.once removed access to mountings and cables at the front end is good.after removal of the gearbox support and linkages to the gearlever speedo drive fuel hoses and all the bonding leads its time for the chain and hoist watch for starter cables alternator cables and heater hoses as you lift and drag it forward...before re assembly check for gearbox oil seals for failure and service the bonnet catch cable by disconnecting at the handle end drawing out the inner wire cleaning grease and re instal.....***Note an ability to express your feelings during the project can have a stress reducing influence

Hi Andy two methods ...remove the two bolts holding the oilcooler radiator to the coolant radiator frame and leave the pipes connected...find a local hydraulic component overhaul shop and buy a selection of "K" plugs ( coloured plastic tapered bungs for blanking hoses and ports*** be very careful removing the oil cooler hoses from the oil cooler radiator.use two spanners...one to hold the fitting attached to the radiator and one to undo the nut on the hose end...it is very easy to wring the fitting out of the radiator casing.....and expensive if you do!!!
