Good job.

I've just removed the trans myself to rebuild my tt.

I slid the shifter much further forward before removing the trans - so the end of the shift rod was in line with the end of the tt housing. I also unbolted the shifter from the tt but didn't remove the shifter - I just hung it across the centre console in position.

What did you use to get that spare trans so clean??!!

You might want to check out the tt bearings while your there. Mine failed on my S2 at 135,000 km. Hence the rebuild.
