Just pulled mine today...quite an unpleasant experience. Likely a better workspace/lift and correct tools make it much more enjoyable...or I'm a challenged solo mechanic.



Couple of comments - definitely need the cradle as low as you are willing to go. I loosened the steering shaft too as the OEM exhaust manifold will hit and bind as you lower the cradle.

Also there is a bolt at the top of the bellhousing - a bit of a pain, but luckily the bellhousing bolts are not very tight - surprisingly.

The driveshaft requires a T60 torx bit as well. The rest was unbolting and getting a work out muscling the 150 pound trans around on my back...even with a tranny jack. And it took about 6-7 hours of fiddling. Going back in will be even more of a chore.
