Hi All,

How many labour hours roughly would I be looking at if I got a garage to swap a gearbox for me? just a straight swap?

cheers

Took me 8 hours to do one on a drive way in the rain on axel stands and I'm no mechanic....they should smash that really

5-6 hours iirc. Can cost anywhere between £200-500 dependant on where you go. It's do-able on a drive as I've not long done my STi clutch on the drive!! If you do make sure there's two of you to get the box in/out

If you are feeling keen you can do it yourself, I have done a 6 speed by myself on the drive, never again, but it is doable

Tidgy

also very dependant on how long its been in there.

you'd have done it in half the time if you took the engine out.

The hardest part is getting the down pipe to turbo nuts off, coz if they're seized they're a nightmare to get off!!
