To remove the transmission (automatic or manual transmission) you will need something to support the engine when removing the transmission from underneath the vehicle (works best and efficient on a hoist) then an special tool to lock the side gears inside the differential during removal. Do you have access to equipment? I can supply you with step by step instructions if needed. Just let me know if it is a automatic or manual transmission and if you need some for the engine/trans mounts (there are usually four mounts total so be specific which mount you are replacing).
