Maybe.
It is dependent on which suburb you are in?
If you're close by (30 minutes) then I'd rock on over for a couple of hours and give you a hand.
Lining up clutch/gearbox can be an arsy job by yourself. Especially if you're only using jack stands... :shock: :shock:
If you have a hoist or a pit then its all smiles
:mrgreen:
