Transmission Removal Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • Remove the transmission carefully, holding it steady. If the transmission falls it could be damaged or cause injury.
CAUTION:
  • To prevent part interference in the engine compartment, position the installation part of the exhaust manifold stay of the front pipe on the transverse member to control the inclination of the transmission under its own weight.
