transmission removal help 5 speed
i removed 3 bolts so far, 3 to go. any hints on how to remove the two on the top of the tranny? also do i have to remove the driveshaft or will it just slide out when the tranny drops down?

i use a ratchet wrench once the bolts are broke free, the trans wont just fall out, i usually leave the x-member in while undoing everything. then pop it out and just wrestle the trans out. i can have a L series out in 30-40 minutes. 2 ppl can be helpfull for the removal, but it can be done alone. you can also jack up the back of the trans to tilt the assembly fwd and up to give more room to those top bolts

I put a tranny bolt back on the block and a bit Flathead screwdriver in the teeth of the flywheel to hold it still, then I used a 4 foot breaker bar. If its still in the car, put a socket on the front pulley bolt so the crank wont turn over.

I have removed all the bolts securing the the transmission to engine. When I when to pull the transmission back far enough lower and remove the transmission, I could not. Which the clearance, I found the potion of housing which holds the starter hits the body preventing me from moving the transmission back far enough the the engine spline shift. Please instruct as how to move the engine back far enough to remove.

Good time to replace oil pan gasket and rear main seal
I'm guessing that while the tranny is off it would be a good time to replace the oil pan gasket and rear main seal if necessary? I need to replace my oil pan gasket and started out by doing it the way shown in the Haynes manual but that sucks. My rear main is leaking anyway so I plan on just replacing the oil pan gasket and rear main with the tranny off. Anything to look out for?

The oil pan gasket is quite a job in-car. We've discussed it a few times here, but with the transmission out, it should be easier to remove. I believe the other hard part it getting to the bolts directly above the motor mounts. Some have said that using an engine hoist to lift it an inch will help.

ya
Been there done that, having a Trans Jack is so much easier, but ya, if your tuff, but the reverse process isn't as easy, but doable.
