Please keep us updated!  I'd like to know how it comes out. Also, those guides should be REALLY useful.

Tomorrow, buy some more tools, 10MM Triple square and Transmission Jack adapter, then at night (kids asleep, wife out of town) take off the total exhaust and some more support bars as well as CV Joints.
Tuesday, tranny comes out!
Wed, wife comes home, yikes  |

Tranny is OUT!!! Gbox here I come!
Total time spent - 7 hours
Difficulty...harder to find a 10MM Triple Square (12 point) socket!! With patience and faith, anything is possible. I would rate this as hard as changing out my brake discs, but a lot longer.
