I've heard the hardest part is dropping the transmission. I recorded some of my transmission drop on video if you wanna check it out. Just be patient and try to lift the car high enough so you can use a creeper if you don't have a car lift. My back was red and raw from getting in and out from the bottom of the car on my back.

get a tranny jack, T-56's are heavy, trust me you don't wanna take it out on your chest. I would also advise you to change out the rear main seal, slave cylinder, and put a remote bleeding line on it, All dependent on how many miles are on the car
