did it on jackstands. took about 3 hours or so. it’s really not bad at all. Sounds hard, though.

1. Loosen axle nuts
2. Loosen lug nuts
3. Remove upper IC piping
4. Disconnect transmission electrical plugs, ground and upper trans mount
5. Disconnect starter.
6. Remove upper transmission mounting bolts
7. Remove downpipe-turbo bolts
8. Remove clutch slave.
9. Remove clutch fork pivot pin.
10. Disconnect tension spring and pull up on clutch fork to disconnect from release bearing
11. Jack car up HIGH
12. Remove wheels
13. Remove axle nuts
14. Disconnect strut pinch bolts, rotate knuckle down.
15. Drain trans oil (2 locations)
16. Using a screwdriver, pop the axles out of the trans
17. Remove axles
18. Unbolt downpipe, disconnect 02 sensors and remove downpipe
19. Unbolt driveshaft rear cover.
20. Unbolt driveshaft rear flange and center support, remove driveshaft
21. Disconnect shift linkage, REVERSE LOCKOUT, and shift support member
22. Support trans with jack (it will balance perfectly on the center of the pan. I used a ratchet tie down to hold it tightly to the jack)
23. Remove lower transmission bolts/nuts
24. Unbolt and remove transmission x-member
25. Remove Transmission (may need to pry a bit… it has some tightly fitting dowel pins. Also may need to use a jack to adjust angle of the motor)
