Just so you know, it is a VERY tight fit for the auto to slide out with the engine, but it DOES fit. It has to be tipped pretty steeply and wiggled around some but it will come out through the hood. A 5MT will drop right through and back in with the engine, the 6MT is very tight like the auto but will fit also, although I really was doubting it when I did mine until I wiggled it just right and it dropped through.
