   If you've never taken one apart before then you might struggle

    Do you need any special tools to do it? I'm curious... might take the old 1.1 to bits...

    not really, depends if you want to take the gear wheels off the pinions or not? then you'll need a gear puller.

    i had two gear box's and decided to make one good one out of the two faulty ones as they had different faults, stripped one quite easily then the other was bitch. the pins going through the selector forks were solid and ended up cracking the internal casing knocking them out with a punch.
    time was against me to get the box rebuilt and back in my mrs's car so a got one off a mate for £60 and fitted that instead.
    loads easier than a rebuild
