i read over the instructions on removing the transmission and it's not to bad, just need to lift it slightlyto removeall the bolts on the lower flange, access the others on the flange from the top side that attach the motor to the trans,unblot starter and slide forward, you might have to take off some pieces from the top to access the flange bolts and undo a speedo cable sensor, and anothersensor thatare bothaccessible from the top side. disconnect the CV shafts and drive shaft, and associated mounts holding the trans... and lower it down. much easier than removing the motor, which I have done... joy that was.
