Thanks the OP, this helped a lot.

I found that I needed to remove less stuff. For me at least

- removing the boot and pin from the shifter selector was easier from below the car.
- starter motor does not need to be removed from car (electrical connections can stay - just push it out of the way.
- only 4 bolts need to be removed from the rear cradle ( 4 outside bolts attaching the cradle to the transmission tunnel).
- I only removed the front pipe from the exhaust and the front half of driveshaft.

Took me about three hours working on stands (no hoist) working by myself (I already had the car on stands and the undertray off and did not include time to re-install undertray). I needed a buddy to help re-install the transmission but did the rest myself. I'd say 4 hours including getting it up on stands and removing/replacing the undertray.
