Some said pull the Transmission with the Engine as a unit.

Has anyone hear pulled the transmission from the Engine with no major issues?

I have all the books, and have found the required tools.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Dealer wants $5k - $6k!!!
We have done several, and I have to tell you that the dealer's quote is not that out of line. The Tiptronic trans complicates an otherwise simple process, significantly lengthening the time required to pull the trans for IMS/RMS updates, which is why most shops quote substantially higher prices to do a Tip car vs. a manual gear box car.
