Same box.

Haven't done an AU, but did an EL (not so different to AU) in my garage, on 4 X car ramps, and apart from the 1.5 odd hours to undo and then do up the top starter motor bolt, it all went fairly smoothly. From memory, total time was around 15 hours over 2 days; first day remove, secon day was the install, including servicing the trans, toppong up with fluid etc and then we were good to go.

ive been told it shouldnt take a trans shop more than a 3 hours to do the change over so going that way with it.
