Wooden heads part 2!

Tranny tales part 2
I am starting to think that this is easy - a piece of cake - when I remembered a contact saying " watch the bearings don't fall out" but what he didn't say was which ones or where!
Eventually the end plate starts to move out complete with the first stage of the main unit and shafts and I start to think " wouldn't it be good if I had a workshop manual!"
With the end plate off I see a lot of little roller pins - looking at them I keep expecting them to fall to the ground- but they are OK.
The rain is stopping at last and it's 6pm and time for an aperitif ( it is compulsory to have a glass of wine in the hand at this time)
We are surrounded by vineyards, medieval villages etc but not a single auto-transmission shop for 700 miles - in any direction!

Next day a quick call to my brother in Scotland confirms that I HAVE to keep going " get it all out" he says.
I have taken several photos and sent them to him and he has given me the confidence to get the job done.
This box would not get third or fourth gear and don't know which is which but when I slide out the second set of clutches -voila!The high gear set looks like it has been in a bonfire.
