My tip for the job...
When removing the transmission, make DAMN sure all the sensors are unplugged and that everything is disconnected.
When installing the transmission, make DAMN sure all the wires are not in the way or get pinched between the transmission housing and the block.

Honda part number 07MAC-SL00200
Got mine from the local Honda dealer for about $60 back in 1987... I hear they're pretty pricey these days but I think they're available. Worth the money !!

All very good advice. Thanks everybody for the input.
I remember taking the axles out in my crx long ago and I just banged on the control arm until the joint came apart. I always wondered if it was bad for the car? I will make for positive absolutely sure that I have all connections to the tranny disconnected before I make an attempt at taking it apart. I'm pretty paranoid about things and so I usually check stuff several times before tearing stuff apart. Anyways, if I have any trouble throughout the process I will post it. Having backup from fellow Teg owners gives me piece of mind. Thanks again.

ball joints froze!
I cannot get either ball joints to break loose. I was hoping to get them off without the too, but I may have to get one. I tried jacking up on the castle nut which did nothing but lift my car up off the jacks. Does anybody have any suggestions?

nevermind! I had to rent a fork set. I really had to bang on em. All the grease squished out of the boots and one of them ripped. I hope it's no big deal to fix that. I couldn't get the shift pin out, so I disconnected it at the shifter hoping that will work. Now I gotta get the axle nuts broken. I know I should've done that first thing, but didn't think bout it. I know they're on torqued on there pretty good. I couldn't get em off with my wrench, so I'm waiting for a buddy to bring a breaker bar over. I'll keep posting as if I run into anything to bitch about.
