Depends really how experienced you are with this sort of thing......

I'd recommend searching the forum for topics on driveshaft removal, particularly the intermediate bearing on the drivers side before starting.

Make sure you have a good quality 8mm allen key (pref a good quality socket type) , a deep 11mm socket along with a decent ratchet - these will make life easier.

5 hours would seem a fair estimate, although it can be done in half this!, and I've seen it take a lot more, too

With your tools you can do it in half this, but depends how confident you are.

 

Putting boxes on can be a ball ache. All down to clutch alignment and making it slide on straight away for a quick job!

An hour and a half with a tea break

I managed to take a gearbox off, strip the diff out, swap the crown wheel from the new box to my quaiffe, fit the box back together & refit it in under three hours.

 

Its amasing how easy it is with the subframe dropped though.

with another guy we assembled the whole engine, timed up the cam, mounted in the car with driveshaft and gearbox of course in 5 hours. with 2 cigaret brake

I done a complete gearbox and clutch change in 3hrs without air tools and 2 axle stands.

So you should walk it in 4 hrs even if you've never done 1 before
