even easier is what toobs describes.
The gearbox remains flat on the ground, and tilt the engine so its at its natural position that it is in the engine bay. (10-15degrees tilt back)
go in on the engine from the angle, sliding the transfer case past the engine box mount, adn getting the input shaft to line up directly with the spline. straighten the gearbox, and slide it in. Once the splines are lined up, its only a 5-10mintues job of cursing.
Big thanks to spectral for showine me how do it.
Gearbox off while out of the car is easy, there is just pricelss room to work with. Remove the 2 stays behind the engine which attach to the tranfer case. remove the bottom flywheel gaurd, and don't forget that bolt which is hiding up under there. And then undo the 3 bolts on the front of the gearbox, get your trusty screwdriver, pry them apart, and then slide it out, and angle it off, reverse of install. Again only a 5-10minute job.
And when you look at it, it makes sense to drop the whole package out. Since the gearbox basically holds the whole package in. By the time you get it to the stage of removing the gearbox, your only 1 mount, and a few hoses/wires away from dropping the whole lot out.
