We have a house which was built in 1979. In the living room, there‘s a large mirror assembly. About 4 feet tall and about 6 feet wide. They give off a bronze color and have nice tapered edges. It looks nice to us, but we‘re selling the house and getting comments that it is outdated. We want to take it down, but we can‘t figure out how to do it. It has 5 vertical panels which look to be held up by two tracks. One on top and on on the bottom. We tried sliding the mirrors out, but they won‘t budge. The space behind the mirrors is so small that we can‘t see behind it to see if there‘s epoxy or something gluing the panels to the wall. The channels are pinched very tight to the mirrors on top and bottom. I don‘t want to start prying them away from the mirror unless I know that this is how to remove them for sure. Other than breaking them, any ideas?
There are plenty of companies making manual gearboxes. Liberty, Jericho, Lenco, GG, Tremec but you would know this if you used any serious manual transmission instead of just spouting rhetoric out your sphincter. Watch your step when you climb down from your soapbox, and don't dislocate your shoulder while patting yourself on the back.
Many vehicles still come with manual transmissions. Usually these are economy cars or sports cars.
I just did the same thing. Start by taping the mirror very well. A good strong tape, making big X's, over lapping. So if the mirror breaks, the chunks will not fly at you as much. Wear heavy work gloves, work boots, and eye protection. Make sure you have someone at home in case there is an emergency. Have heavy duty, contractor bags to put the mirror in should it break. Wrap any broken pieces in newspaper and add to the bag. Call your garbage company and find out if they'll take away broken glass, and if so how they need it processed. Now comes the hard work. Remove the mirror clips, while someone else braces the mirror. If it epoxy is holding well, then pull at the mirror with even pressure. The smaller of my mirrors (about 5' X 8') broke into a ton of pieces getting it off the wall. My larger mirror is about the size of your large one, maybe a touch bigger. It came off in one perfect piece, and I was able to reuse it in the workout room. The dry wall under the mirrors will be ruined. The epoxy has bonded with it, and you'll have holes to deal with.
