Transmission removal

You need a copy of the manufacturer's service manual for a huge job like this. You won't find this in a Chiltons or Haynes manual. Those only cover things competent do-it-yourselfers can do. There are many pages of instructions including steps to separate the lower ball joints to get the half shafts out. This job is even more difficult if the car is not on a hoist.

You can also buy an online subscription for just your car. The two that almost all independent repair shops subscribe to are AllData and Mitchell-On-Demand. Those include everything found in the manufacturer's manuals, plus recall and service bulletin information and diagnostic information.
