Yes, tricky part is lowering cradle to allow motor to move forward from input shaft of TT.

Kent Moore support plates greatly help in this process

it can be done without lowering the cradle, did it over the winter on an 06 Z. The steering rack and damper were off to allow more room to pull the motor forward.
