Yes, file was too big, can’t seem to reduce the picture size to load? Think I had some pics in my V-8 project build. Will try again later.

Release arm can rotate when spline is worn. Easiest fix is to weld it to the shaft making sure of the optimal position.

   You will need jackstands due to the fact the rear wheels need to move outwards so the drive axles can come out . But first remove the drift pins from the axles. It is easier to remove with the cross brace removed but you can remove it from the bottom but you need to remove all bell housing bolts, starter, rear gearbox mount, wiring, speedometer cable. Don’t forget the front splash guard either. Place Two awls or alignment bars to help from dropping and guides the removal.
  After that the gearbox and bellhousing can be pryed rearward , lifting the rear of the gearbox slightly over the body panel , a nice wooden ramp for protection while sliding it rearward is helpful.
After the gearbox front shaft clears the pressure plate the gearbox will drop down.
  Not quite sure why your release arm rotated around as you stated. A vw clutch cable can be adapted to fit but needs the end swedged.

Garage / S2 Gearbox removal advice
« Last post by andyj007 on Today at 12:11:05 AM »
Hi all,  i need to remove my gearbox in my S2 , something broke last year ,  clutch went stiff then snapped , its not the cable , the arm has rotated from its normal position .. .. 
I do have a ramp, unofrtunatey it has a elan sprint without any rear end up on it so its going to have to be undertaken from the parked position on floor..
The clutch was replaced (not be me) not so long back, so everything should be free and easy to unmount..
is it a case of just following the workshop guide?  or are there any other tips i should know.. .
ive got two half days and evenings to get it out , im hoping this is sufficient, if not will have to leave for a week or so in bits ..

Yeah, I should have said "generally". With Lotus there were always exceptions.

Those will require a twin link set up.
