So tonight I pumped the water out of the inspection pit under the garage, drained the oil out of the old box (cue several "plopping" sounds as shiny bits fell out), removed the prop shaft, took the front seats out, and removed the gearbox cover. Tomorrow I'll be bussing to work again, then getting on with removing the old box in the evening. I'm planning to do it without removing the engine, despite advice that it's much easier to do it that way, because I'm a cheapskate and don't want to hire a crane for the weekend.
Almost but not quite perfect timing
