Gearbox removal brackets Thanks To Aiden (Beaker)for lending me the gear and allowing this to be reproduced. These allow you to remove the gearbox with it attached to something solid so it doesn't fall off and injure you or worse your gearbox. It also allows some freedom of movement to wiggle the box past the various bits. I was removing a Syncro gearbox but it can be used for 2 wheel drive boxes as well. VW made some lugs and holes exactly for this purpose.
