Gearbox back in place attached to engine. I have turned the engine over a couple of times. G/b did not twitch.Are there any more things I should do before I disconnect it and try hauling it backwards again?

I have done all this over the pit. I should like to drop the gearbox with me in the pit, not lying on my back. Obviously there are complications. My idea is to lower it on to planks across the pit. Then have wife jack up car one side and push the g/b out sideways. Then lower car so that I can get out from under. Would this work?

That rather depends on whether your wife wants you to get out of the pit...........

I would lower the box onto the planks then pick it up and place it in the pit.

What does it weight? I never imagined I could pick it up.

15-25kg?
It's nothing like an auto.

I have turned the crankshaft a couple of times. Is there anything to be gained by putting back the hydraulic pipe and pumping the clutch pedal?

And the rest I would prepare for 40kgs...

Gearbox weighs 7 stones or 44Kgs, see first picture.
Working in the pit, upper plate still fouled gearbox removal, so I removed it. Then gearbox slid easily off. Wife jacked car up one side, I clambered out and hauled out gearbox. Clutch plate looks worn out, second picture.

Thanks to all for advise and encouragement.

Well done for sticking at it

That clutch is definitely a long way past its best...

[Entwood]

Well done .. you stuck at it and got there...   

Please can I have your garage ?? 

[robson]

What a relief. We knew you would get there in the end all you have to do now is to work out how to get it back onto your planks and inline to get it back together. 

[Mr Gav]

Well done 
I`m surprised it weighed 44Kg, I would have guessed at 25Kg
