if its the 115 style cast iron case tranny then you're a better man than I am if you just bench press it out from there, it weighs twice the later aluminium style one. For the cast iron ones I use a cardboard carton with a number of smaller cartons inside it, pull the tranny off the engine onto the carton, it crushes it but the smaller ones inside absorb the impact and let it land gently, then simply drag it out from under by the carton
