Well it's out. Biggest issue was 27 year old bolts that haven't been touched, splitting the propshaft from the output was the tight part, ended up using a 2nd jack to crack those bolts off!
Single handed to get it out, rope through the shifter opening and a jack under the bellhousing made life easier, definitely going to be harder to get back in.
Rear main seal is leaking as evidenced by a copious amount of oil in the bellhousing and upon removing the flywheel.
Also have a leak from the back of the gearbox, seemed to be coming from one of the mounting holes but might be due to an overfill at some point, I'll take a closer look another day.
Old oil out, like coffee, so defo no good. Had a quick go at getting the fill plug out with no luck, so going to have to get inventive with that...
