Gearbox removal

Hi all

How long should it take to remove the gearbox on a 52 plate td5 auto and replace the oil seal on the torque convertor?

Do I need to remove the transfer box and is there any specialist tools required?

Thanks

Just removed mine today to inspect the clutch and it took a good 3-4 hours but im no mechanic lol

had to disconnect starter motor, what a bitch the top bolt is
Cluch slave cylinder
front exhaust
cross member
brackets that held rear of gearbox
Bell housing bolts again the top ones were a bitch
Electrics from top of gearbox
Gear lever and Hi/Low lever...this meant most of centre dash had to come out to get to bolts holding hi/lo lever

Im sure there was more but me heads done in and cant remember it all.

Not sure what else you need for the oil seal...good luck.
