Jack and block the car up as high as you can... will make getting the tranny and bellhousing out much easier.

Not hard, just time consuming. As stated above, get the car as high as possible. You'll have to drop the exhaust, driveshaft, and remove the shifter to get enough room to rotate and pull the tranny back to get it out. Also, you may want to change the rear main seal, driveshaft u-joints, and rear seal in the tranny while you've got everything apart. I just got done doing this. :D Good Luck! :cheers:
