I did a HBW150 one time. It weighed about 17#. A 100 should be even
lighter. Problem was access. I could not see a thing getting it out and it
would fit only one way. Unbolting took minutes, getting it into the right
position to get it out took hours. I had to unbolt it from the DIN
backplate to get it out but I figured that out very quickly.

Installing - The bolting up took about 10 minutes. Getting it in and in the
right position took at least an hour. Again it would only fit one way.

PS - drain the fluid before removal. It is a DYI project if you are
paitent. Why did you buy a replacement? Why not get the old one
overhauled?

How heavy is the transmission, can you lift it in and out?

How big is the transmission, can you get it out without moving the engine?

The Hurth HBW100 transmission on our Universal 5432 diesel in our O'Day
37 CC is kaput. I have bought a replacement tranny but I am having a
hard time finding someone to remove the old one and install the new one.
Our marina's mechanic is out sick with a bad back and won't be back
anytime soon and the marina has no one else.

How big a job is this as a DIY project?
