Try to beat our record....with the car jacked up, and everything in place (meaning fluids and exhaust and driveshaft.) It took us (us being two guys) approximately 2 hours from start to finish (still on jack stands, all fluids and parts replaced). This was of course after the 3rd time I had to drop it in a week...
I have read through many write ups, but it could never hurt to read another. You may have something someone else missed.

Why the hell is this friggin thing so expensive. Is it made of gold?
On another topic.

At what point does the engine rock forward, when the trans comes off or when the ppf and driveshaft are removed?
To be honest, i dont remember seeing transmission mounts.
Is it safe to use the oil pan to hold the engine from rocking forward?

Ill put the factory jack under it to hold it.

Heres a dumb question.
Is the transmission secured with studs, or bolts?
Why I ask, once unbolted does it just fall off or does it remain in place until you tug on it?
Kinda dont want surprises so I'm asking otherwise obvious questions.

It can't drop straight down if that is what you mean because the trans input shaft is still in the clutch disk. You have to pull the trans towards the rear of the car to 'unstab' the input shaft from clutch disk before the trans can drop.
