ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an arrangement in a motor vehicle where a drive unit for driving the vehicle is mounted on a subframe in the vehicle. The subframe is affixed from below to carrying parts of the vehicle with the aid of attachment elements.
For repair and service of larger parts such as clutch and gearbox included in the drive unit, it is normally required that the entire subframe and the drive unit are released and removed from the vehicle in order to get access to the drive unit part in question. With the object of enabling solely taking out the drive unit part which is to be repaired or serviced, it is directed in accordance with the invention that the subframe is divided into a first and a second subframe part which are mutually pivotable about a substantially horizontal axis. After undoing and/or removing the attachment elements fixing the first subframe part, this subframe part can be swung downwards to a position enabling removal of parts from the vehicle.
