I jacked up the back of the car, removed the tie bar and hired an enormous engine crane.
After about 2 hours frigging around trying to get the bloody thing in I gave up.
I convinced myself that you don't have to take out the engine to fit a new clutch - so the gearbox must go back in on its own.
I lowered the engine and box back onto the ground, disconnected the box and lowered the engine into the engine bay.
I then got myself a transmission dolly, strapped the box to the frame of the dolly, jacked her up and wheeled the whole lot forwards. By jacking, wheeling and tilting the dolly in small increments I suprised myself and got the tranny back connected to the engine within about 45 minutes.
I tightened up the bolts/studs/nuts and thought that had to be easier than fitting both at once.
The biggest problem was actually getting the box on the dolly in the limited space under the car.
