renault are pretty cheap for sumps tbh,
jack engine up as far as it will go, taking slam panel off helps, if it has aircon.
wedge somethign under top engine mount to keep it up.
drop subframe 3-5" and sump will come out.

very smart, silver bit on clocks wants painting red to match dash strips, T5phy has done this and it looks very smart :D
renault sell a rebuild kit..
last 172 box i rebuilt was a dream to drive, sooo chuffed when it went back in.
the boxes are pretty simple if you have had one to bits before. you need to keep ball bearings from dropping out when you dissasemble.
the gearbox upper mount and the dogbone mounts will be the onces giving you grief.
poly bushed dogbone and uprated gearbox mount will see good improvement in engine stabalisation, and you mayaswell do top engine one too. if you cna live with a bit of engine vibration they are awesome.
if not...
