Autodata states 8 hours, however you could times this by 5 or even 6 if you have never done it before, dont have a lift or pit and are working on it on the ground.
You need to drop the whole subframe to allow the box to drop this entails removing both ball joints and unbolting the frame and wishbones. You also have to remove the lower engine mount completely,also makes sure you have undone the brakepipe brackets, 2 13mm bolts in both wheel arches to the front of the trackrod ends. From the top you need to remove the battery and its tray and below this is the ecu, you can put this to one side without taking the connectors out and remove the ecu tray. This will allow you to access the top mouting bolt of the gearbox and also the starter motor that's attached to the gearbox. There are also 2 13mm bolts hidden under the starter motor.
When replacing the gearbox make sure you have new transmission oil as you will have to drain the oil before you do anything. It states 75w/80 however transmission oil has progressed so you will find that nearly everyone will recommend a general 75w/90.
All in all its a pig of a job and should only be done if
A) you have some mechanical knowledge
B) Your a fruit loop!
Just pull it!
