Remove the cable from the negative battery terminal, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, and take out shift lever and inner shift lever boot. To disconnect clutch line you must first raise and support the vehicle on jackstands and remove driveshaft(s) Detach the starter motor, fuel line, and harness bracket at the top of the transmission. Remove any exhaust component that will interfere with transmission removal, the exhaust hangers and heat shield(s). Take off the skid plate and transfer case on 4WD models. Unplug the electrical connectors from the upstream and downstream Oxygen Sensors, the backup lamps switch connector, and the transmission speed sensor connector. Take off the stabilizer bar and brackets, support the engine with a floor jack using a block of wood to protect the oil pan, and then take out the two nuts on the transmission mount to crossmember. Set your transmission jack or floor jack underneath the transmission. Safety chain the jack and raise it a little to take weight off the crossmember. Next, remove the rear crossmember and the transmission mount. Take out bolts fastening the oil pan to the transmission, then the engine to transmission bolts, accessing the top bolts with a special long extension. Take the nuts off the flanges of the exhaust pipe-to-exhaust manifold, before checking for any wire still attached to the transmission. Using a prybar if needed, shift the transmission and jack toward the back of the vehicle until the transmission input shaft clears the clutch or clutch housing. Once clear of input shaft, lower the transmission and pull it out from under the vehicle while checking all clutch components and installing new ones if needed. With the transmission secured to the jack, raise it into position behind the engine. Slide it gently forward until the input shaft engages with the clutch plate hub without forcing it. When flush with the engine, install the transmission-to-engine and oil pan-to-engine bolts, tightening to specification. Put in place the mount and crossmember for the transmission, tightening all of the nuts and bolts to the torque, then remove the jacks holding the transmission and engine. After reinstalling all of the components that were taken off, check that all wires and hoses are plugged back in. Next, check that the transmission has lubricant to the proper levels, then lower the vehicle. After that, install the inner shift lever's boot, the shift lever, and the outer boot. Finally, connect the negative battery cable and road test the vehicle to check for leaks.
