To perform the work you will need an inspection pit or overpass, a device for hanging the power unit (see "Manual gearbox - removal and installation").
Recommendation. Carrying out this operation is quite labor-intensive and requires certain skills and equipment, so if you are not confident in your own abilities, it is better to entrust the work to a specialized service station. The gearbox weighs approximately 30 kg, so work should be carried out with an assistant or using an adjustable stop or lifting device with an appropriate lifting capacity.
Sequence of execution
1. Place the vehicle on an inspection ditch or overpass (see "Preparing a vehicle for maintenance or repair").
2. Remove the battery (see "Battery - Removal and Installation").
3. Remove the air filter (see "Air filter - removal and installation").
4. Remove the battery shelf (see "Replacing the left support").
5. Using a puller, disconnect the wire harness holder from the left powertrain support bracket.
6. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors from the reverse light switch 1 and the gearbox shaft speed sensor 2.
7. Using a screwdriver, pry up the retainer...
...we disconnect the wiring harness blocks from the electric gear selection drive.
8. Similarly, disconnect the wiring block from the electric gear shift drive.
9. Similarly, disconnect the wiring block from the clutch release actuator.

10. Remove the engine splash guard (see "Engine Mudguard - Removal and Installation").
11. Using a 17 mm wrench, unscrew the nut securing the ground wire.
...and disconnect the wire.
12. Remove the starter (see "Starter - removal and installation").
13. Move the wiring harness to the side.
14. Loosen the front wheel hub nuts (see "Front Wheel Drives - Removal and Installation").
15. We lift the front part of the car and remove the front wheels (see "Wheel replacement").
16. Drain the oil from the gearbox (see "Automatic Transmission - Oil Change").
17. Remove the front mudguard from the left side of the car (see "Front mudguard - removal and installation").
18. We hang the power unit on a special device and unload the left support.
19. In the car interior, unscrew the tension bolt and disconnect the steering column cardan shaft from the steering gear shaft.
20. Remove the front suspension anti-roll bar struts (see "Anti-roll bar strut - replacement").
21. Remove the rear support of the power unit (see "Replacing the rear support").
22. Disconnect the ball joint pins of the levers from the steering knuckles and remove the longitudinal beams of the front subframe (see "Front suspension arm - removal and installation").
23. Place a height-adjustable stop under the subframe. Using an 18 mm socket or open-end wrench, unscrew one bolt on each side of the front...
...and the rear mount of the front subframe.
24. Remove the front subframe together with the steering mechanism and anti-roll bar.
25. Remove the front wheel drives (see "Front Wheel Drives - Removal and Installation").
26. To prevent dirt from getting into the gearbox, cover the opening of the left drive with a clean rag.
27. Unscrew the bolts securing the gearbox to the cylinder block.
Note: We perform further work with an assistant or install an adjustable stop under the gearbox.
28. Remove the left support of the power unit (see "Powertrain Mounts - Replacement").
29. Rocking the gearbox from side to side, remove it from the guide bushings and carefully remove the primary shaft from the hole in the driven disk and clutch basket. Carefully lower the gearbox to the floor.
Warning! When removing the gearbox, do not rest its input shaft on the clutch diaphragm spring, this may cause damage to the clutch.
30. Install the gearbox in the reverse order, having first applied plastic grease to the splines of the gearbox input shaft.
31. Tighten the mounting bolts and nuts to the prescribed torques (see table 10.3.2.).
32. Fill the gearbox with transmission oil (see "Automatic Transmission - Oil Change").
