Sounds painful. When in doubt, whip it out. ---

I had to drop my tranny by myself. Put an old sofa cushion under the bell housing, took a pry bar, and used the metal flat part on the edge of the engine to pry the sucker out. Dropped without a sound or any damage onto the cushion, end of story. ---

Jack up the front end of the motor, it’ll give you enough room to slide the tranny out. You can also undo the 4 cross member bolts and lower the crossmember w/ motor, down just that little bit and the tranny should slide right out. ---
