gearbox change

[BonkersBman]

im changing my gearbox today and was wondering if there is a guide or anything that i need to look out for while doing it, will i need any special tools?

i have searched but cant find anything.

any help would be much appreciated, thanks

No need for special tools. Roughly: Drain box oil, take driveshafts out, remove subframe (unbolt steering rack from subframe, support engine), remove battery and gearbox mount, remove box and vice versa for assembly.

From line 4 of that guide:

"On some of my pictures you will see my engine has been removed, this guide is to change with the engine in, the pictures just make good refrence."
