If that's all you find when you're in there, yes. If you can lift the
car, and drop the transmission out the bottom, that could speed things

A what? Another "special tool"? :-)

It's a piece of square stock, and cushions to go on the wheel arches.
Picture of it in the front of the manual, I'd expect.

Didnt know it was possible from the bottom, looks like an eery tight

Helps to have a car hoist. I don't. Bolts are still a bitch
to get out.

I assume the "bar" under the engne IS removable then?
Will probably remove the engine completely though.

Probably best.

on
a 99 Turbo but mechanically it's mostly the same:

I read that a few times already.... really helpful!
Need to get the engine out of my 99 at some point too ... :-(
(Broke the gears on the oilpump-shaft lately)

Ah, on the countershaft on the B-engine. Ouch. Do I want to ask how
that happened, or would you rather not talk about it?
