Is it easier to remove just the transmission form under the car and replace or better to take the engine and gearbox out and do it outside the car.
your advise will be appreciated.

I say it depends on the equipment you have.
If you have a driveway a trolley jack and a set of axle stands I would hire / buy / borrow an engine crane with a load leveller and remove transmission and engine in one go. I know it is a lot more work (or seems that way) but struggling with a transmission under a car on axle stands is in my experience an accident waiting to happen. The chances of damaging yourself, the car or the transmission is in my opinion greater.
If, however, you can do the job on a 4 post / 2 post lift with a transmission jack - well it is like you'd be using the right tools for the job!
