Hi,

It sounds like you have a big job ahead of you. Before you get started, make sure you have proper jack stands, a good floor jack, and an engine lift. You will need to lower the transmission a bit to make room to access a few bolts and then lift it again.

Also, make sure if you lift the vehicle that you have is properly supported with jack stands. You will be moving the engine around as well as the transmission. It needs to be solid on the frame.

I attached the directions below which are somewhat extensive. Take a look through them and let me know if you have any questions.

Take care,

Joe
