I agree, trans jack and a lift for easy access. That thing is a bear to lift by yourself (160lbs.). Years ago I did it several times on my back with jack stands and hand tools.

While you're in there, it would be smart to take a look at the clutch. Maybe replace the disc if it's worn. Bleed slave cylinder, and replace clutch fluid. That may be part of the reason why your syncro went away in the first place.

At 61', make it as easy as possible on yourself. At 69' I won't be doing it again.
