I am getting ready for a trans replacement and need some info on the "how to" and if it can be done in the driveway/garage. I have a good selection in the tools department and good mechanical skills, as well as a buddy who is a starving college student who works at a speed shop to help out. Can it be unbolted and dropped out through the bottom?

I have a Helms manual on the way, but are there any threads/posts anywhere on this? I have done searches til my eyes bled, but can't find exactly what I am looking for.
