If you are doing this on your own, in your drive, it is a tough job esp if the box has not been off before. Many things corrode together silid as welded nand it is simply hard graft. The transmission is heavy so beware.
If you do a search on here you will find several step-by-step ways to do it, all assuming you have the right tools and car experience.(and swear words/beer)
Broadly:
Jack car up level very high and very safely.
Remove the intercooler/starter motor/stead brace/clutch slave cylinder or clutch cable
Remove turbo or exhaust down pipe/pipe (is it a turbo?)
drain oil from box
Remove prop if a 4 x 4 (or not if a 2 wheel drive)
Remove clutch cross pin
Undo the front wishbones from the suspension and remove the 2 dowl pins holding the inner CV joints in the box (sometimes some cars do not need this action)
Attach transmission jack or a very big stable trolly jack under the box
Undo the rmaining top bolt and the nuts off the 2 studs at the bottom of the engine/box.
If you are VERY lucky, the box will come off the engine. Most times it certainly will NOT.
Struggle for ever getting the box off the engine(there are 2 10mm dia dowls either side of the engne that locate the box) My first attempt took 2 hours..
Pull the box back and be ready for the weight.
Remove box away from engine if changing the clutch.
If fitting a new clutch the drive plate MUST be really well aligned.
Putting it all back takes longer.
Good luck.
