im sure it'll be easier taking the motor + tranny out, in the end that is.
why are you keeping your driveshaft on your tranny when youre taking the motor/tranny out?
wtf? just disconnect it at the tranny, jeez.

only bitchy thing about removing the motor+tranny as two is is that you have to unbolt all the bolts thats holding the tranny on the motor, which is.. 10?8? i forget.
