:thumbup: Cool. I was motivated by not removing the bracket and the air deflector with my approach.
Dave, when you get into the job and find that you need other things, Rob has some great transmission parts that are hard or impossible to find elsewhere.
NOS clutch folks, seals, etc.
From the looks of it, there is oil that looks like dripping from the bell housing. So I will probably need some seals. I also saw the rubber bellow where the shift linkage goes is torn and a little oil there. It's nice I'm not rushed to get this done. Was planning on pulling the transmission in the morning but turns out I have to take my granddaughter to camp.
Six bolts to go for dropping it. Two on each mount and the bottom two for bell housing to engine. There does not seem to be any pressure on the mount bolts yet so it seems well balanced. Now I stuck the jack under there and ready to chain the transmission to the jack.
It looks like if you want to pull the transmission from under the car I will need to slide it off the jack since the jack sits so high even all the way down. And or I may have to jack the car up higher.
Can't get the transmission and engine to separate. Any tricks to do it? I'm using a pry bar from the frame to bottom of the bell housing and trying that with different pressures on my transmission jack (higher and lower).
Double check that everything is disconnected and if the drivetrain is level, it should only need a gentle pry. I found that the forward end of the transmission tended to tilt down off horizontal plane so I needed to use a wooden shim to correct that. If it does this, the input shaft is getting hung up on the pilot bearing.

When the level is right it just separates easily. Look for an even gap vertically between where the engine and transmission meet. If it is not even, then that needs to be corrected.
I got it separated. Just took a break and when I went back it popped right off. I do have to lift the car higher to be able to move the transmission out of the way.
Not sure how high your jack stands are, but mine are 16” full up. At that height, I had too slide it off the trans jack onto the floor (cardboard under it) then it slid out without any trouble using space in the wheel opening.

Well I have 2 6"x6" blocks under each rear tire (makes me feel safer when under the car) and my jack stands seem maxed out with one 2"x6" under the jack point. I put two 2"x6"s between the tires and ramps. It still is not high enough so I will need to slide it off the jack also to get it out.
By the way, anyone else pulling the transmission, pull all the shift bracket off. I had left the pivot bracket on an it hit the coolant pipes. I did get it dropped but it took a lot of extra work.
Looks like the transmission main seal is not leaking.
What are these blocks held on the pressure plate?
