Message	These include: transmission jack several ratchet extensions - all the upper bellhousing bolts can be removed with a very long ratchet extension coming from the tail of the bellhousing. I see a lot of people trying to use a stubby wrench on the bellhousing bolts and that is futile. You must: Disconnect battery. Remove 6 bolts for exhaust, pop hangers off, exhaust out in under 10 mins. Disconnect the trans wire harness 3 connectors, move out of the way. Remove the 2 slave cylinder bolts, hang it out of the way. Remove the starter, move it out of the way. 5 mins. Remove the 4-6 bolts on the driveshaft (and 2 carrier bearing bolts if oem 2-piece) and slide it out. Then remove the shifter linkage bolt. Again, you're looking at 5 minutes. Remove the 9ish transmission bellhousing bolts. This takes me maybe 10-15 minutes. Remove the 4 trans crossmember bolts. 1 minute? The trans slides right out. I can't fathom an easier transmission removal process. This is for the owner/wrencher using jackstands.
