I have a proper engine crane for exactly this sort of thing... But with no outdoor space here it needs to be kept elsewhere! 
When I could get it on the jack though - jacking up with my foot and a hand on the box - I couldn't seem to get it between the radiator crossmember and, the subframe and the new clutch. For some reason the sump is made overly large on the GTi6, and the gearbox has been shaped to fit it presumably just to make it more awkward lol. There's gotta be a knack with these that I'm missing.
The 'diff down' trick didn't work either, all that did was dribble the remains of the gear oil onto the floor.
