well.... i've done them all ina shop, on a lift with a trans jack and air tools, so my process probably won't apply to many of you guys...
pretty simple, really. unplug/disconnect everything attached to trans. removed air intake, starter and everythign else in teh way from the top.
removed driveshaft, front axles.
removed bellhousing bolts. removed torque conv. bolts.
put trans jack under trans, pry trans off block. lower trans, put aside.
removed flex plate. removed rear main seal. replace rear main seal. reinstall in reverse order. make sure you lube up the seal wehn you put in in and you don't roll the lip of it.

Motor still feels strong!
I would, but I don't really think it needs it yet.
The car still feels like the day I got it.
I would like to get rid of my CEL P0330 Knock Sensor code.
(loss of overdrive)
I will change them out next week.
-I'm sick of the darn oil spot I leave everywhere I go!
I'm on a quest to repair this without major dollars if I can help it.

Thank you 19psi.
In dire situation you can hang one of those aluminum baking trays with wires. Tip and drain once in a while.

I think I have the same leak. It's a couple of drops every night from that split. Well, it actually comes off the seal (I think) where the tranny and engine meet. I tightened all the housing bolts as they were a little weak, but didn't slow the leaking or fixed it.
