The gearbox should have been simple to get out, and it was. But even with the 11 bolts out and the clutch slave off it was still not budging. I supported the engine on a block of wood from below and strapped it up from above and proceeded to bounce on the output shaft, after stamping on the housing it came free. Next jobs are to take the bell housing and clutch thrust bits off and strip it down a little to see what’s up on the inside.
