Jobs over the winter

[rsweeney 40]

right, im planning on taking the car in over the winter so i can take the automatic gearbox out and give it a good once over because it need a few new gaskets and i need to check the sensors.At the same time ive decided to do the dreaded timming chains and tensioners.

Any tips on removing the gearbox and doing the timming chains would be lots of help plus are there any other parts ill need for this ? thanks
