Hi, I have a 1972 G60 patrol with the P40 motor and 3 speed gearbox, the current issue I am having is my clutch is not working despite multiple attempts and so I am trying seperate the bellhousing from the back of the motor so I can take the clutch plate out however, I've noticed there are no bolts (that are visible) connecting them. I'm presuming its dowel that holds them together but I am still unable to get them seperated and I'm wondering has anyone done this or knows how to please?
Cheers Sketty.

Re: Bellhousing to motor separation
Hi Sketty123,
The bolts are actually inside the bell housing, you have to slip a spanner in there to remove them...I'm not sure whether you have to remove the gearbox from the bell housing first necessarily, sorry I can't remember clearly as I had already removed the box...I have a feeling you do though...
I've previously ranted about this design, it's one of the few things I don't like about the G60 P motor...not sure if the G61/MQ P40 setup had a better design but I'm guessing yours is a P since you've got the 3 speed behind it.
The manuals on this forum may help too.
Cheers,
D

Re: Bellhousing to motor separation
IMHO you need to rmove the tranny, clutch and flywheel, to get at the bolts behind the flywheel. I was diassembling my engine completely so i did it thatway . i don't think you can get a wrench in there at all....

That rings a bell, no pun intended...
Sorry, it has been a while since I was doing that, thanks for the correction.
