very simple
pull driveshaft.
loosen tranny to bellhouseing bolts (just loosen)
take wiring off and speedo cable out, along with clutch cable
drop k member but put a jack under it.
take bolts out pull back on tranny and it should slide right out.
then take off the bellhousing and the clutch fork will come with it.

i would relplace the throw out bearing while your in there, there not that expensive and you can rent a tool at autozone to pull it
i made guide bolts for putting the tranny back in. bought bolts that were 3 in long with the same tread and cut the top off of them
then i threaded them into the bellhousing and they were a lot of help for putting it back in.

good luck
