Disconnect the battery before proceeding.
Before removing a single bolt from the transmission, there are several wire connectors that need to be disconnected.
Please view the two images to the right and disconnect all wire harnesses, be sure the vent tube is clear, and don't forget to disconnect the clutch actuator cylinder (slave cylinder). Once this is complete, you can start turning wrenches.
This car has the rear O2 sensors deleted so they were not in the way. If you still have your rear O2 sensors, be sure you disconnect those as well.
