I didn't get a good picture but the input shaft in the tranny housing is quite long and the limiting factor in obtaining clearance for the tranny to drop. This is where I had the greatest challenge. It wasn't pretty and I'm concerned I didn't support the tranny on the shaft when removing. I hope I didn't throw it out of "true". I'd be more careful had I known what I was dealing with in advance. It comes out easier if you support it near the block and at the end trying to relieve any torque from unsupported weight. You also need a lot of tilt in the engine to get the clearance laterally that is necessary. The brake line lives there so be careful not to damage. We live and we learn.
