I've seen videos of guys doing that to FWD shitboxes with transverse layouts. I had to do it on my passat that has engine mounted longitudinally. Turned into a 2 day job with my dad- a garage pit was a must, 1 jackstand was not enough without workarounds, and one extra dude would have helped a lot to get the gearbox back in place.
Also consider whether your flywheel is in good shape if it's dual-mass, you wouldn't want to do the whole mess twice. Also you might need a special tool to center everything before putting the gearbox back on, unless you can make something yourself. But overall I would say fuck that shit and don't bother doing it yourself, time is more valuable than money, and the mechanic will do it much faster.
