You'll need a new gasket obviously, and I find Blue Hylomar helps seal them up nicely. Problem with doing it on the car is that two of the bolts at the back are obscured by the driver's side cat so its impossible to get a torque wrench on them. You have to get a feel for what the others are tightening to with the torque wrench and use a calibrated wrist on those two!

Yep, and even to get to those 2 buggers you need a very short tool bit to get on them - that'll be the 2 that were left loose by the last person to 'service' the gearbox on mine....
