You need to be more specific. What kind of car, year, gearbox, etc. And what are you swapping it out for! The exact same gearbox, or a SRT10 viper gearbox! You need to let us know the variables!

In a home garage allow at least one day out one day in, maybe another half to finish the bits and pieces.
The second time you do it will be a lot quicker.;-)

But the interesting part is that Audi make a big song and dance about how good their mechanics are and how quickly they managed that job. I reckon there was about 90 man minutes in the job. So next time I rock up to the main dealer with my own for a gearbox change, I'd expect them to charge for no more than 90 mins of labour.!
