Vd starter issue, grinding flywheel

[Spengo]

Does this look like a good center point to balance gearbox / oil box?

Heh, I split my car 6 times last year working on my clutch slave cylinder/throwout bearing and debugging transmission issues. First time took me all day and a helper and I used every ratchet strap I could find to hold it up. By the last time I could have it apart and back together by myself in under 45 minutes and I just used two straps. The transaxle is not actually very heavy but it's helpful to have two so you can adjust the angle.

Found a pic of how I had it with two straps

Thanks! This totally was easier than expected.
