Im ready to stick the tranny in, Need help finding info Options

[weird_looking_cactus]

I got my self a tranny, Im going to attemp to stick it in tomarrow sence I don't have school. I only have access to basic tools at my house I have some jack stands Im going to use. I can't find any tech articals on replacing the tranny I have checked pelican to. So all I have is my haynes manuel. Here are some questions. This is a side shifter transmission.

1. Do I have to drop the engine to take the tranny out
2. Do I need any special tools
3. How long do you think it will take
4. Will this be possible with only 2 people and jack stands
5. Are there any articals out there to help me.

Im sure I will have plenty more once I start.

i'm confused.

you've read the procedure in the Haynes, right ?

more things to check:

do you have enough (5,3 US pints) 85W-90 gear oil?
if the new transmission is already out of a car, have you been able to remove & replace the drain and fill plugs (do -not- assume it'll have the proper amount of the correct lubricant) ?
do you have an appropriate CV joint grease for when you re-attach the CV's to the flanges ?

do you understand how to adjust a clutch and the gear selector ?

the consequences of not doing this stuff right can be serious - think about what happens when one of the halfshafts comes loose from the transmission while the car is on the highway. (hint - it's a 50-lb club being flung at high speed in the area of expensive stuff...)
