I have the general list of what to do

 

• remove exhaust
• remove drive shaft
• unbolt shifter cable from passenger side of trans
• drain trans
• remove front axles
• disconnect 2 tranny lines on driver side that run to radiator
• disconnect 2 trans electrical plugs
• disconnect speedo wires
• unbolt starter
• unbolt 4 flexplate bolts through access hole below the throttle body on the passenger side of the engine
• unbolt pitch rod
• brace engine from tilting forward
• unbolt trans from engine
• use jack and block of wood to support trans
• unbolt trans crossmember
• stop transmission from crashing to floor
• stop torque converter from falling out the front of the transmission at the same time
• say to yourself "I hope I never have to do that again"

 

but this is the most helpful thing I could find...

 

please pass on any good resources

Not sure if i've seen a good writeup for 4eat. It's very straightforward though. That "Stop transmission from crashing to the floor" is about the only tricky part. These are big and heavy compared to a 5mt.

 

Renting or buying a transmission jack can make that a breeze. Harbor Freight sells one pretty cheap. But I've used ratchet straps, come along and junk tires in conjunction to do the job without one. Scissor jacks and wood blocks help. You just get to be more creative.

 

On reinstall just make sure to seat the torque converter properly so you don't crush the pump. There's a good writeup on that on this board.
