I hope you got some time and patients cuz FWD tranny's are a bitch if you don't got a lift.
-jack up the front of the car (both sides)
-your gonna have to take off some suspension pieces, like the strut fork thing, and the upper and lower ball joints
-take off the axle nuts.....i hope you got an impact cuz that bitch is on there tight!
-take out both axles (remember the drivers side has the intermediate shaft), this parts harder then it seems!
-On the drivers side axle, to get it out you got to take off 3 bolts that are holding the intermediate shaft...there a pain and suck to get to!
-get your air box and intake out the way.
-then just start having at it with the bolts and mounts.
-theres about 4-5??? that run across the top of the tranny, under the dizzy. A few others that run along the sides of the tranny (this is pretty self explanatory, just take off the bolts that need to be taken off), also don't forget that theres a bolt on the alternator that runs into the tranny, so you'll have to take that out too.
-Once you get the top bolts, move to the bottom, your gonna have to remove your shift linkage to get it outta the way.
-there should be a plate that covers the back of the flywheel, on the front of the tranny next to the block. Get that outta the way, theres about 6-8 bolts there (small ones)
-then take off the bottom tranny bracket, once thats done you should be pretty close to gettin it off.
-personally I would save the passenger side motor mount for last since its on the top and you don't want to be under your car when that tranny drops.
-Put a jack under the tranny and drop that hoe out. (if it doesn't fall or come out, keep lookin for small missed bolts, it happens, you'll know when you got them all, it will slide right out.)
-Also i forgot to mention you got to unplug a few sensors and take off your slave cylinder.
Get some friends to help you, TRUST me you'll need the help. Be prepared to sweat, be pissed, throw shit, yell, and be at defcon 100....cuz it will get to you, especially if its your first time. Im sure i've missed steps, but what I gave you is a summary of how to do it. Just so you know it sucks ass if you do it on the ground. But good luck and have fun. Also, torque wrench is needed and lots of extensions, remember to torque everything down, don't do it half ass, cuz that's how you break stuff!
If I forgot anything, please add it or just revise what i got to make it sound better. LOL!!!!!
