Surley a jack can be used to lower and then raise the gearbox back into position.
Its all possible, you just have to use your brain.

glad you said that i thought it was me thinking it was bloody heavy last one i did we used engine lift though open door strap round gearbox lowered it down and put it back the same way, we found that much safer
a crane is handy - but it's really not needed if you employ a little ingenuity

HI stuart, guess you took the plunge with new DMF, had 3 attempts at replying to your pm hope you got it. I would go with engine lift option thats how I did gearbox change on my classic ( on my own by the way ! )
