I have a 2015 C5 with the 2.0 BlueHDI 150HP engine and a 6 speed manual gearbox.
VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
I would like to remove the gearbox to get to the clutch and DMF. The PSA removal - refitting says an engine-gearbox assembly should be removed first.
Does anyone have an experience with removing the gearbox leaving the engine in on the right hand mount + support? It looks like there is enough room to do it after removal of the front craddle / subframe.
Regards,
Lukasz

Re: C5 X7 2.0 BlueHDI Gearbox Removal
I gave it a try with success. It is possible to detach te ML6C gearbox from DW10FD engine and remove it without removing the entire engine-gearbox assembly. It requires removing the subframe but it still seems to be less effort. There is not a lot of room, lowering the gearbox side of the engine a bit helps a lot.
I am responding to my own post just for the record in case someone is looking for the same answer.

Sorry Lukasz, I've just seen this post - but I've previously left this to the garage to do on my X7, but glad you have it sorted.
