drain the tranny fluid

the intermediate shaft has a bracket with 3 bolts on it on mounted on the back of the engine...you take those 3 bolts out....leave the passenger side axle in the intermediate shaft and just take the shaft out of the transmission....but you have to pop the drivers side out of the transmission

ok to start to drop the tranny youll need to take the whole shifter cable assembly off the transmission....take out the bushings and then the 3 bolts holding it on

you need to disconnect the clutch fluid line from the slave cylinder

disconnect this ground along with this mount for the clutch fluid line

dont forget the VSS (its under the upper radiator hose)

now the tranny mount.....its tricky....take out the bolts indicated here:

now one of those^is actually the ecu holddown bracket.... but you need to move it to get to the other bolts....so the other bolt to the computer holddown bracket is underneath and behind the ecu...

next theres 3 bolts holding the mount down to the frame on the drivers side:

take off this sensor

take off the bellhousing bolts...i think theres 8....and THEY ARENT ALL THE SAME SO KEEP THEM ORGANIZED

and after the install you will have to refer to here to put fluid back in the tranny thanks to batang city jail
