I always found the gt5s/E fwd gearboxes fairly easy to do.
Used to take me an hour and a half to drop the box out on my own and a similar amount to put em back with the car on axle stands...
However, get the right tools for those driveshaft bolts (spline key) and itll make things easier on you next time.

Tip: When removing the 5s/e boxes, turn the front snubber bracket upside down so that it supports the engine as you remove the box.
