I've done it. PITA. But well worth the $700+ in labor savings if you're able. It took me a full weekend to do the work with the help of a friend, but neither one of us had pulled a transmission before. We took our time and had zero issues.

My low profile jack was the limiting factor. It would not raise the car high enough (I think I get about 22-23 inches of lift with it), so I was not able to remove the transmission out from under the car. However, this did not lead to any issues installing the Z1 CSCEK. The space might have been a little more cramped if I had been replacing the clutch at the same time (I am planning to purchase a different jack for the next time).
