you have 2 options both require you to pull trans out there is no way you can not take out the trans when pulling a fwd or vertical mounted car unless you have enough room. there is a shaft that goes into the xmsn from the engine and it is too long to seperate from engine capartment .1st opt is easiest and simplist pull out from above with a engine hoist both engine and xmsn do not undo engine to xmsn bolts. second opt you would have to have a engine hoist tilt and tilt the xmsn so it can come out from the bottom. use help when pulling engine the weigh like 300-400 pounds
