"You can lower the gearbox on that side a bit."

By gear box I assume you mean transmission (?).
In order to get anything up to the top of the transmission where the switch is the transmission would need to come down more than a bit. Maybe I am misjudging the distance due to my awkward position under the car.

Lowering the transmission in any form will be a new exercise for me.
All I know is to not drop it onto my chest.

So I put some type of jack under the transmission, remove the rear transmission support bracket
...
and the transmission will just lower without disconnecting the drive shaft?
...
and the engine just pivots as the rear end of the transmission comes down?
