The closest thing I could find about transmission removal is how to replace the tranny mount.

it isn't hard at all. Try looking at the install document for the clutch install. I think it covers the tranny removal

Yeah go to the clutch install on installunirversity, taking the tranny out really is not that hard, only thing that is a little hard is the two top tranny bolts, what I like to do is keep connecting extensions until they reach the hole where the shifter was before you took it off, then hook the ratchet to it from there and get the bolts out, for those two you may need some help. its really easy if somebody can be on the bottom holding the extension in place while the top guy hooks in ratchet and loosens.
