I usually take a piece of wood and jack the motor up on the bottom of the crank pulley. Do you have access toan engine puller? That would make the job a lot easier. As for the shift kit, I can't help you there. I never put one in. I can't imagine it is that difficult.

I think you will have problems with changing the oil pump in the car (alot easier to pull the motor). I've never changed one in the car before but pretty sure you want have enough room to get the motor high enough to remove the oil pan. lol. and yes the Harmonic balancer is the only place to jack it up.

The shift kit should be straight forward exchange, no special tools that I know of.

thanks you guys save me alot of time. i starting to jack it there but then stopped because i didnt want to snap anything. maybe if i take out the tranny i will have more space.

if you take out the tranny. then jack up the motor.... it will fall out
