3.
Remove the drive shaft.
4.
Install a plastic cup over the end of the transmission shaft. This will keep oil from
dripping out.
5.
Disconnect the transmission linkage at the transmission.
6.
Unbolt and pull the speedometer cable out of the extension housing.
7.
Remove all electrical wires going to switches on the transmission.
8.
Often, a cross member (transmission support bolted to frames) must be
removed. Support the transmission with a jack and use another jack under the
rear of the engine. Operate the jack on the engine to take the weight off the
transmission. Be careful not to crush the oil pan. Never let the engine hang
suspended by only the front motor mounts.
Figure 8-7 - Floor jacks converted as transmission jacks.

Depending upon what is recommended in the service manual, remove either the
transmission-to-clutch cover bolts or the bolts going into the engine from the
clutch cover.
10.
Slide the transmission straight back, holding it in alignment with the engine
(
Figure 8-8
). You may have to wiggle the transmission slightly to free it from the
engine.
11.
Clean the outside of the transmission and take it to a workbench.
