Just changing the manual tranny on a 2wd takes me maybe 3 hours. Did 2 in my driveway in the last couple weeks. Naturally, there are several things you should do along the way and this will add some time. Always change the seal on the tranny input shaft and inspect the release shaft for wear on the curves areas where the release bearing rides. Also it is easier to drain the tranny when it is out so it is a good time to drain it and check to see what comes out and what is stuck to the magnet.

Syncro trannys are a whole other thing. Doing one of those today. Did a couple others in the last few months. We did Karl Mullendore's Syncro in my driveway last month. More of an all day job on those.
