Where the starter motor sits there is a big allen headed bolt, you need to remove this, inside there is a rod which holds the clutch release bearing in place, there is a small thread in the end of it, insert a bolt and pull it out, it may be stiff.... then, wiggle the clutch fork from above, or in other words where the clutch slave cylinder acts on the black arm, and that will release the fork...... no, if the gearbox has never been off, it will be extremely hard to get it off the engine,..... when i first did mine i found the only way was to hammer wedges in each side, and wait...... slowly it should move, it's not the most delicate of methods, but the only way i could find........ it took me a whole day to get mine off the first time....!! be careful, the gearbox is heavy, so best support it whilst you try to disconnect it.......
