Yes Scott, Through the Cockpit.
Pad the top of the windshield. Remove the rear mount to frame screws,
jack up the engine, under the pan until the flange has risen about 2".
use a scissor jack or wood blocks to support the rear of the engine.
I removed all the bell housing bolts except the top two.
With the floor crane in place, lift the trans until it just starts
to move. Then I backed the top two bolts out about 1/8" then ease the
floor crane down or raise the scissor jack up until the bell just
separates from block. Remove the top two bolts.
The trans will probably want to rotate a bit. I used short pry bars to
ease trans back. Its a big help if you have somebody to steady the
trans as you guide it out through the door.
As the manuals say, "installation is the reverse of this procedure".
Sort of.
Have fun
Dave and Daisy
