No.....the trans wont come off of the BH? It appears as though only 4 bolts hold it in place. Even if I did remove the BH, it would seem to be easier with the trans out of the way.

No....take the bell housing off with the tranny. You will not disturb the clutch because the pressure plate is bolted to the the fly wheel enclosing the clutch.. While you have it off, you can check the conditionof the pressureplate, and clutch. Better to look now and see if you have to replace something then later and do it all over again. Alsothink about getting a new throw out bearing also.

RE: T-5 Removal
I agree w/ SSkiller/Adder. I've always removed the tranny w/ the bellhousing attached (i.e. remove it at the block). It's not that difficult if you have 2 people or if you have a floor jack to stick under it.

whoa now... i never said he should remove the bell housing with the tranny.. infact, I think its more work than you need to put into it... 4 bolts hold the tranny to the bell housing... just unscrew them and the transmission slides right out... this isnt exactly rocket science...

I hate to actually agree with Adder, but that was all I was asking, Can it be done....

RE: T-5 Removal
i figure itll be easy enough... next weekened i guess[:@] wanted to do it this weekend, but as ya no 94gt, i kinda ran into a few bumps in the road. but should have the heads back from our guy sometime this week, one of my heads is done, so hes gonna make some calls and try to get me one for a good price, if not im gonna pull one off of a 95 at a junk yard. hes gonna check them both for warpage of any kind(which i could do, but he has them), and if there warped at all hell have them fixed, and hes going to do all the valve seals, etc for me too... and the best part... for free. just gotta wait to get it all back, hopefully then thatll be done next sat and the trans can be next sun. hell i wanna get that trans done, the sooner i do that, the sooner i get my core charge back, lol.
