My mechanic removed mone (2006 manual) without removing the box, so it IS possible, but is a seriously fiddly job. He must have extreme patience and very long fingers...

If its an auto, I would be looking at taking the body off. Mush easier than arsing around with the auto box, which weighs in at 125kg... And would need drained and refilled
Its not that big a job to lift the body, can have it off in around 3-4 hours...My D3 Build Thread
My local stratstones told me theyget them off in 2
Mind you, I always budget for double the time whenever it goes in for work Mark.

What of a design engineer though that would be a good idea? Makes me long for the days of my A series engine - though not admittedly the Marina it came attached to. Mike - 47° 51' N 19° 43' W
