here's your writeup:
get your extensions and universals out. unless you are pulling the engine and transmission together, you will be sitting on the floor of the garage under your car with your head in the transmission tunnel from about 3 feet back trying to get your socket wrench on the bolts that secure the upper half of the trans. to the block.
get a transmission lift/jack and support it, have a friend there to help you catch it when it comes off.
put a 2x4 under the crank pulley and slowly raise the front of the engine so it is tilted back to accommodate removal. you may be able to get more angle by loosening the motor mount nuts.
remove the starter and set it aside. remove all of the transmission bolts, be careful to keep them in order as they are different lengths.
when the bolts are gone, give it a good tug making sure that your friend isnt UNDER it in case it falls off your lift. if it is stubborn, you can use your rubber mallet to whack it off () or pull from side to side until it is free.
