you will want to unbolt the driveshaft where it bolts to the pumpkin. Yes, those bolts suck. they put lock tite on them from the factory and then they have years of use gluing them on. I used a gigantic (like 3 foot) screw driver, and shoved it through the driveshaft so it wouldn't spin (it hits the floor board and won't spin anymore). Without this they are almost impossible to remove. from there I used a box end wrench and a breaker bar and all my upper body strength to break the bolts loose. From there on its easy, you just unbolt it from the diff, and unbolt that little transmission crossmember halfway up the car towards the tranny, and the whole thing slides out of the back of the tranny, which will then spew fluid out of the hole in the back.
WEE!
