If you haven't got a reply yet, take off the tbar changer inside the car
(only have had manuals, prefer them better) and under the car you have to
undo the driveshaft and move it (taking it off completly would be easier),
then undo the cross member near back of gearbox and off memory i think
there is 6 bolts arond the front housing to come off. then jiggle it
around and back and should come out, just have to watch out for the gear
lever. Have fun, when i had to change clutch plate andd fly wheel in my XF
it was a *****. Glad I got my EL.
