can someone please tell me if its possible to remove a manual gearbox from a fiat punto(1.2) without a ramp or removing the engine

Hi Chris, yes it is possible, Jack the front of the car and support the chassis on axle stands. Disconnect gear shift, rev counter, reverse inhibiter, clutch cable or slave cylinder, and anything else you can see attached to the gearbox. You need to take off , nearside drive shaft, to do this you need to disconnect the hub from the wishbone assy. Place a jack to support the engine, remove front/rear gearbox mounts, support gearbox. remove bellhousing bolts and take off box
