You dont have to remove the engine at all, take out the bolts in the sub frame at the gear box side and loosen the bolts on the other side to lower the sub frame and the gear box will fit past.

dont listen to him, just jack up the engine and get the car as high as you can to allow you to lower the sub frame, its about a six hour job.

Bad news! You have to remove the whole engine & gearbox together with the subframe, suspension and hubs as a unit, change the gearbox and put it all back.
If you do it, don't leave the old clutch in there, it's wise to put a new one in, or pretty soon, you'll have to do it all again!!!
