I wish I could get the removal of the gearbox right too...

Trying to follow the 4-speed removal procedure from the shop manual, but I can't break the box free just yet. It seems I'm missing about 1/4" of leeway, the nose of the input shaft does not clear the clutch and the gear lever (in first) blocks further rearwards movement. I'll have to bring out the engine hoist tomorrow to see if a bit of lifting will provide the needed clearance.

I'm done for tonight, a hairful of gear oil in my face made sure of that. Yuck, gear oil is nasty stuff.
