have just put my gearbox back in , wasnt too easy to remove either,the drive shaft on the drivers side was a right pain to remove but try this site as it has a walk through guide which i found very helpful,www.mdracing.co.uk
sods law that now i have put the gearbox in the car starts but cuts out 30 secs later when reved and it wont idle,think its a problem with the throttle or some of the sensors are a little old ,hope u dont have the same trouble!!!!!
