First, buy a set of Multipoint bits to lossen the drive shafts.
2: Buy a 17mm hex socket to remove the fill and drain oil plug from the box.
3:Get a Engine support jig or jack stands and lots of muscle
4: Drain the oil. always loss the fill plug first and then the drain.
5: Support the engine or put a jack stand under the oil pan, CAREFULLY.

7: loose the drive shaft inner bolts, keep them in pairs with their spacer.
8: Loose all engine and box mounts.

10: Remove the starter.
11: Remove all 4 bolts that secure the box to the engine.
12: Get a couple of friends or a box jack.
13: remove the shifting bar connecting rods.
14: Now remove the box carefully,you need to rotate it a liitle bit for it to come loose. it is not that heavy but with extra hands is better and easier.
15: If you are doing the clutch, you'll need:
A- Complete clutch kit, Brand: LUK. it is the OEM.
B- Mail Box Shaft Seal.
C- acting bar seal and cooper Bushing. andt the bar also, it wears out and it is not the same lenght as new and this affects the clutch operation.
D- T.O. Bearing spring and lock; and actuator finger
E- Now that you are there you might change the main crankshaft rear seal.
F- buy a Mulltipoint 9mm socket to remove the flywheel.
G- Buy the preasure plate bolts, these need to be new as they are streatch bolts and cant be reused. the flywheel bolts can be reused.
Take your time, dont rush things. Buy alot of brake cleaner to get everything very clean.
Check your flywheel to see if it needs to be resurface or replaced.
There are alot of spare parts you'll need to buy from a dealer or by internet.
If you do all of this, you wont have to do this in about 100k miles or depending on your driving.
