Matt,
I'm inclined to agree with you. If it's just a matter of getting at the 4th gear switch, I'd disconnect the drive shaft, loosen up the tranny mount, put a small block between the engine and the fire wall to keep the heater hose connectors from being crushed as the engine leans back while the transmission is being lowered on a jack. But that depends a lot on what kind of top he has on the gear box. If he has to drill the top to get the switch in, it would be easier to do with the whole contraption on the bench. It may be possible to get the top off with just the tranny hanging down, but I've never tried that trick, so I can't say for sure - might be worth a try.
