Engine stays where it is, there are 4 engine monuts, 3 are attached to the gearbox.so just drop the box out from below. Make sure you align the new clutch plate before refitting the gearbox.

Is it 4wd or 2wd! 4wd is motor and box together, 2wd is box only

I call bullshit on this one. I've replaced a clutch on a 4WD RVR which is mechanically the same as a 4WD Chariot of that era and it was as easy as any other FWD car dropping the box down. Only extra steps were pulling the exhaust down and transfer case off. Have also removed automatic transmissions from 4WD RVRs too with little difficulty. They are no different than a Galant or Lancer of the same era.

Mitsi desgined those 4wd gearboxs well. Once you remove the transfer case which is easy it just becomes like removing a 2wd gearbox. Easy as

Well you're doing it wrong. No need to drop the motor at all.
