fitting removing gearbox on a 172 how hard/easy expensive?

[C8DGY]

Looking at a clio project it's a decent spec but the gear box has seized. ...

question is how hard is it to remove and fit another box...

I have a good bunch off tools but never done this before mechanical skills wise aren't great but if i have somting to follow im fine. (Stripped a Evo and removed a Williams engine in the past.

also if i was to take it to a gargantuan any idea on a rough price.

cheers.

If you've stripped an evo and removed a Williams engine I can't see this bothering you.

I've just taken a box out of a 182, and I'm in no rush to do it again. Maybe I didn't gone best route, but it was a definite struggle. I've done a box swap in 1.5 hours drive in drive out on an old zetec-s, took more like 5 hours to drop the box on the Clio (mainly because I didn't know what I was doing!)

Jesus that's cheap Dan, makes me and mike doing it pointless.

Its not that hard to do at all, I'd happily help if you're local.

Drop the subframe entirely is my advice.
