i am jsut wondering if the bell housing can be removed from the MM6 transmission while it ist still attached to the car, eg remove in two parts, first the transmission then the bell housing
makes transmission work alot easier if you can, i havent worked on my tranny yet but i am very soon going to install a new clutch, so im asking now before i get in the down and dirty, so i know what kind of job to expect

Here is how i've done it:
Remove the console, shifter ****, shifter stick, the rubber piece below that the keeps the elements out of the car. Then Remove the 4 bolts that holds the base of the shifter to the tranny and stuff a rag in that hole.
Then remove the exhaust, the tunnel brace, driveshaft, undo the torque arm from the tranny, I keep the torque arm on the rear end and move it off to the side (it keeps the rear from slipping upwards and if you do it right you can keep it attached),. Then brace the tranny with the jack remove the tranny cross memeber. Undo the trany to bell housing bolts, pull the tranny then remove the bellhousing to motor bolts and pull that aswell.
Cliff notes: Yes, you can remove them in 2 pieces.
