Subject: the tranny will move a little.

I got it down to where i could pull the tranny out in 3hr by myself. I had to go back and forth in that stupid thing a few times before i got it right =)

Once you disconnect the driveshaft from the guibo, you can move the tranny around a little, i'd keep a floor jack under it and move it around with that. If it doesn't move, take out some of the bolts and you should be able to move it. Putting the tranny back in might require 2 people. One to manuever the jack and the other to guide the input shaft in. That part really gets to be a pita after trying to hold that tranny up and put it in.

I'm not sure what plug you are talking about, but i'd suggest getting a bently to help you. I think there were about 10 to 12 bolts all together, but make sure when you take them out that you remember which one goes where because there are some different length bolts and its a bitch to figure out which one goes where.

Hope that helps
