I believe you have to drop the subframe or at least loosen part of it to manuver the tranny out.

Thought so...there's some good info on here and on j-body.org that shows what all needs taken off to get to the trans and get it out.

I believe you need to watch the radiator too as it will fall when the subrame is dropped. Just zip tie it up top.

Are you refering to the flywheel?

I hope you dont plan on putting a used clutch/disc on a new flywheel....

You need to do a clutch also, it is like putting new rotors on your car, with used brake pads...
