That depends on what you mean by easy.  You don't need any special
tools; compressed air is handy for testing and for blowing out
passages.  You have to be organized, patient and clean.  You need the
Bentley of course, but I found that  even more useful info was found in
the Bentley for Rabbit, Scirocco, Jetta 1980 -1984.
  I did the AT in my 84 a few years ago and it was the first AT I had
attempted.  Clutches, bands, and seals cost me a lot at the dealer; you
should try to find a cheaper supplier for parts.
  The seal between the AT and the final drive is said to be a weak point
and should probably be replaced, as well as the one at the torque
converter.
