Easy to do yourself. No bolts hard to get at and plenty of room all round. Disconnect battery. Prop off first (mark the flange for refitting)then gearbox levers, speedo and back up switch. Release exhaust pipe clamp and then release the slave cylinder. A few big bolts around the bell housing and the rear engine mounting and the box is ready to slide off, this is the only tricky bit may need some sort of support/extra pair of hands, I'm fairly large so could drop it on to my body and ease it to the ground. Clutch housing ready to come off now.
Refit almost as easy as long as you have centered the clutch plate and are able to offer up the box without hanging it on the shaft before fitting the engine mounting. Do fit a complete set including release bearing. Look for oil leaks at flywheel and end of gearbow extension. Best of luck.
