Ok. So so far the transmission is out, new clutch inst
alled, etc.
I did leave the driveshaft in, and it was fine with tbe transmission strapped to the jack.
I did not have to drain my transmission.
However, when i removed the bearing retainer cover, about a 1/2 cup of fluid came out of the lower bolt hole.
I had to screw it back in and lean the transmission back a bit.

However, the frame for the shifter will not come out without removing the driveshaft.

I just have to put it back in.
I told myself that i was going to go fast, but ended up taking my time for a lot of things like making sure the bolts for the bearing retainer cover were free of sealant, prepping surfaces, making a good bead with sealant, replacing the tob and rhe clutch fork, and I did a lot of things like replace the rear main seal, all of my shifter bushings, etc.

Ill post a bunch if pics after im done tommorrow.
