Gearbox Removal - Driveshaft Removal - Idiots Guide

I was just about to offer to email you the whole lot….. having read this - I’ll not bother 🤣

I've found that having respect for people in the Lotus community goes a long, long way. They are more likely to do you a favour and help you out.

Having disrespect means people are likely to ignore your requests for help.

This is the drawing from the manual. The pins are at the gearbox side, very close to the casing.

Thank you

Same here, but something held me back. Turns out my instinct was right...

Who the hell do you think you are! I will ask as much as I like, don’t respond if you don’t have the answer to my question!!!

As an attitude on a community forum, that response completely sucks.  I think with that one response you have turned away many people who would have been happy to help with advise.

And..... you should budget in the cost of the service notes if you intend to work effectively on any Esprit.  It will be money very well spent.

Thank you for your previous info on the matter, the simple fact is I am on a budget and can’t afford a manual at this precise time. Thanks again tho, at least you offered your help. 

Uhmm ,,   If you think a manual is expensive, just wait and see how much your first f**k up is going to cost you for not having one..     Especially as you just shot yourself in the foot with your remarks..  

This forum is in my experience the best out there , especially for Esprit owners..  technical help and advise is readily given.. This is priceless when it come to things that are not in the manual .. ie fault finding and failure reasons, etc the list is endless... 

I think a big apology to the CEO and readership would be a good start .. COURTESY COST NOTHING .
