Changing the gear box?

[allallyouyou]

To the point,

Has anyone done a gearbox change on a MK1 Arosa?

Im planning on doing it and would like some comments / advice / noddy remarks.

Is it possible to remove the gearbox from the engine and do a hot swap without removing the engine?

I am quite technically minded but have never done anything to a car on this scale before as I usually use a local garage but for this I am quite determined to do it myself

Any comments (sarcastic or helpful) deeply appreciated

Many Thanks.

its a doddle mateyyy i got mine owt in about 2 hours no need to take the engine owt , its just as easy to do it with it .......... dnt even have to take the drive-shafts completely owt jus undo them from the box and swing them owt of the way. About the hardest thing is the 18mm right at the back of the engine some tymz there a bit tite some tymz apart from that it a doddle guuuddd lukkkk

Does anyone have access to a list of gearbox codes that will fit an AFK engine?
