Changing gear box mounts ??

[LAMBRETTLAD]

Hi
I have a worn UJ at the front of the prop shaft,and will change both ,I'm wondering if It's possible to change the gearbox mounts with the box in situ ? and should I change the crosspiece bushes as well ?

Any hints very welcome

cheers Alex

Just done mine in situ, bid fiddly but did mine OK Ideally removing the front exhaust pipes would make it really easy

Yes and yes, but make a note of the orientation of the big bracket and the mountings before you remove it - it's not symmetrical but almost looks as if it is !

Cheers

Correct, forgot to say that mine were incorrect which is why I had to change them, they were fitted by a previous repairer when replacing transmission, the mountings were distorted and the bushes were grossly overtightened.
