nah box in. when you do it, undo the front gearbox mount and make sure you turn the engine when it separates fom the box and it'll come out easy.

don't try to lift straight out cos it hit's the left side chassie rail and wedge the fly wheel and clutch against the gear box casing and you'll be stuck!

HTH

cheers
