The trickiest part of the whole operation on a PV as to get at the upper Allen head bolts that hold the tranny to the bell housing. Its a little tight in there. I use a 1" long piece cut off a 3/8" Allen wrench fit into a socket on a wobble extension. You don't need to loosen the engine mounts, just disconnect the upper radiator hose, after draining out some coolant, and let the engine lean back on piece of 2x4 to keep the heater hoses and connections from getting crushed. Support tranny on a jack as you lower it after disconnecting the shaft flange and undoing the transmission support. It should slip right out. You should consider doing a clutch job while you have the transmission down. Don't forget to take the shift stick out! When putting the replacement in, make sure it is in gear (4th). That makes it easier to line up the splines - by manipulating the output flange. Redline will be fine, but any good gear oil will do.
Have fun!
