feck me, what are you on?
LR service times list has 6 hours for remove and replace transmission.
I'd expect to take a long day, or 2 ordinary idle-bastard days, at home.
You can do this on a 110 by removing the seatbox and floor panels, unbolt
props and other stuff, remove T-box, then remove main box, in 2 parts, from
inside the vehicle. If you're strong enough, you can do it without a hoist
as well. You'll want a jack under the main box so you don't hang it on the
input shaft while removing it. You can't get the whole transmission out
upwards even with a hoist, or I couldn't, mind, that was an auto and
borgwarner. But you've got to split the T-box and main box anyway, so may
as well lift 'em out in one piece. likesay, if you;re strong enough to lift
the halves then you don't need a hoist.
Swap input gear in the T-box and swap bellhousing and gear linkage stuff
over is about half an hour, I should think.

see above, about doing it from inside. has the advantage if working in the
open that at least soem of the time it's not raining on you
