    B4 Avant Front subframe removal

    Tried searching this but could't find definitive answer. I'm about to replace my front subframe bushings. Is it possible to remove the front subframe so that the gearbox mounting brackets (red circled in the pic) remain attached to the gearbox? It would be easier that way since the top allen bolts holding the brackets to the gearbox are not too easy to reach.

      Yes, it is possible as I put my subframe in after my engine and gearbox went in. From memory though, the gearbox mount bolts are meant to go top down and I didn't have space so put them the other way around. That might be the only issue but you could cut them and put new bolts after you have done the job.

          Thanks for the answers. Just failed MOT due to worn bushings so they need to be changed.
