Wow, what a palava! Although I had a tranny self destruct on a V8 Aston many years ago and that had to come out through the cabin, although it was a convertible which made it easier.

What's actually wrong with the transmission? Just wondering if it can be repaired in in situ.

As it happens, just today I removed the valve body from the transmission on a Mercedes ML430 to change a solenoid in the conductor plate, which sits on top of the valve body .Took about five hours in total before the car was back on the road (although I've done it before so I knew what I was doing). I guess modern cars are a designed to be more serviceable.
