Jack it up on the torsion tube just inside the swing arm mount.

Avoiding the handbrake conduit obviously.....

It'll be fine to use the gearbox mount. Damn handy feature if you ask me.

I think I've got my axle supports there at the moment (torsion tube). Also my road is on a camber and I need more height on one side which I can't get if I jack from the side. So, saw the big square box where the transmission meets the axle looked good... Will give it a go tomorrow
Cheers
