Default Any tricks on dropping the transmission on CQ?

Anything apart from obvious? Once all the bolts to the engine are out should I expect it to drop? Mounts are out as well as front subframe. Mainshaft will go out soon too. What about the pro-con cables??

Default on my sedan...

The Pro-con didn't interfere, but the rack/tie-rods did.

We ended up unbolting the tie-rods from the rack, and sliding them out the one side of the car. Then we were able to get the tranny out.

Did you remove the front snub mount plate? You'll need to do that in order to tip the engine back far enough to drop the tranny.
