In SOME cases FWD gear swaps are easy, first that comes to mind is the 5 speed VW box.
To swap the 5th gear you don't even have to drain the fluid out! Basically jack the car up only on drivers side (sloshes fluid over to passengers side) remove wheel, side cover (6 13mm bolts) and there is the 5th gear set right in front of you.

However in many cases, no so easy . . . .
