No major issues getting it all back together, initial struggles to get the 'box to go on the last inch or so were soon resolved once I realised that I was trying to move it forward against the CPS mounting point, doh! Add to that having to remove it again because I'd removed the clutch fork so I could have a good look at the input shaft alignment and that made up a fair bit of extra time.
Has is made any difference? Oh yes, gear selection at a standstill is as smooth as silk, reverse goes in without a hint of noise.
Quite pleased with myself, all done single handed with a combination of jacks, ropes and blocks of wood. Always nice to have a good end result.
Excellent, well done.

It is always good to see some Rough Engineering Made Easy (Army joke) that works out well.
