Have the car up as high as you can get it makes life alot easyer cvh clutch's are fairly easy to do the only thing i fine a pain is lining the box back up but if you have use of a car ramp then it's alot easyer

errrm, have your flywheel skimmed before the clutch goes back on, and use a clutch aligning tool, makes life very easy.

the abs modulators are a pain cause they are right at the back and there is little room to operate.

overall its not that tricky to do, i managed to do it lying on my back with the car on stands.

Yeah I've just changed the box on mine this weekend.

Did it on my back on the drive and to be honest it wasn't as bad as i thought it was gonna be.

Like dave y said the abs modulaters are a bit of a bitch but not overly hard.

Just be careful when your lowering the engine down to slide the box off that it doesn't slip and fall because it will make a right fuckin mess.

Good luck
