can have the box out in an hour or so, its an easy job to do as stated flex pipe for clutch is on to watch, gear linkage is just a questin of removing clips and popping the linkpin out but make sure you undo the 2 13mm bolts on the tailshaft as well,also make sure you check the dmf as they go with monotonous regularity!!! the box i think is actually quite lite, have done it on me own twice!!!  :y

Box is not heavy.....you need to force the fluid in the bleed nipple to get the air out of the clutch setup fully.

Not a bad job and much easier than any modern front wheel drive car
