Removal of the gearbox whilst on your back is a pig but worth doing to save the garage fitting costs. The main problem I found was trying to get the input shaft to go into the clutch plate. A hint I've found was to loose the Two bolts on the engine mounts on either side. BEWARE Not to undo the actual mount ones as its filled with Oil and it will seep out and they will be knackered. Just the ones that will enable the engine to be tilted at the from ie the back downwards which an assistant can do while you get the input shaft in by wriggling the box about

very easy, just remember to disconnect the exhaust so the engine can rock backwards and use a decent alignment tool on the clutch

I found that laying under the car with my head at the engine and my feet pointing towards the diff you could use your knees and hands to line up the gearbox accurately (hands on the bell housing and knees on the gearbox), I didn't even have remove the exhaust or loosen engine mounts (although our ones could be a bit worn now I guess). You have to twist the gearbox towards the drivers side to clear the bulkhead when you first offer it up.
