Does either side have to come out to remove the trans? Is it possible to drop it straight out or does it need to be tilted/rotated to allow the starter recess in the bell housing to clear the passenger side tubes? It looks very close from underneath the car.
Thanks everyone for the info. It was very helpful. Got it done by dropping the cradle one side at a time to get the springs out. I then removed the bolt from the wheel well as suggested.
