Getting the gearbox back in is always the hard bit.
Trouble with going too high on axle stands is you loose stability. I dont like being underneath a car at the best of times.

Re: Gearbox removal.
well done in doing your gearbox,
have done this a few times on my back , i drive the front up on to ramps and jack the back up on to axle stands . getting the box off is easy but as you found out putting it back is a prob, i now have an old lay shaft from knackerd gearbox to line up the clutch plate up best thing to have as gearbox goes on first time every time with this.

Re: Gearbox removal.
I am hoping when I do mine I will not have alignment issues as I am not changing the clutch! So gearbox should pop back on.
