In 2 words, very hard. Last time I did one, 3-4 years ago, I took engine and box out together much easier than taking box of on it's own, but I do have fat hands which doesn't help.

If it's the same BE5 gearbox as on 205s then it's easy enough with (as Marc says) the engine and box out together, otherwise it's a PITA due to lack of space, but then that's the same for most transverse engines, particularly in smaller cars.

Parts should be cheap enough from the likes of GSF Car Parts or Euro Car Parts, but always worth checking with a local factor as they're often competitive too.

it will be an MA gearbox if its a 1600.

no major drama at all. on 106/saxo this very easy, 206 has different suspensions et up, lower ball joints bit more of a pig, but thats it really. 4 hours no problem.

only problems will be same as with any other car, seized driveshafts in hubs, seized lower ball joints etc. but if all that has been oiled last time it was apart its piece of cake. oh and sometimes gearbox bolts seize. its an idea to crack them all off before you undo the gearbox mounts.

Started removing the driveshafts tonight, Thort i was doing well untill i tried to remove the drivers side shaft, I undid the 2 bolts but it seem siezed solid into the bracket How can i get it out.

Can you remove the bracket and pull out with the shaft?
Can you leave the shaft in and just pull the gearbox off?

Yes, I did one last week, Y reg 1.6 206, easy job, didn't disturb drivers side shaft at all.

Recommend replacing the release bearing guide whilst you're at it, only a tenner
for a genuine Puggit one from the main stealer.
