I think it would probably be easier to just pull the trans. I know I looked into that when I did my clutch and when I mentioned the engine method to Cory I think he said "F**k no, just do it the regular way." I think it would be even faster for you since there is not intercooler and turbo to work around. Either way I wouldn't mind helping you... since I am going to be taking my trans out again soon and might need an extra pair of hands.
