Transmission replacement instructions please?

Thank you for your service.

Here are some guides that will help with removal of a transmission. While the bolts are going to be in different locations the steps are all about the same.

These will come in handy because the instructions from the manual are not very detailed. They give the steps but not much more help. So looking at these guides will give a better idea how to do certain things because removing an exhaust is pretty standard.

Below is the process from the manual. As you can see, it is not very impressive. However, let us know if you need more info and we will see what we can find.

Thanks

Good evening
