Here's a start compliments of a former member.

SVX TRANSMISSION REMOVAL
Tools needed:10,12,14,22 MM sockets, phillips and straight screwdriver of varying sizes, prybar, 6" extension, breaker bar, hammer, a small punch sized to knock out the axle pins at the tranny, tranny jack

To remove the tranny: Start at the top and work your way down. First, disconnect the battery(negative first) and then remove the alternator & starter.

Use a 6" extension with a 12 mm socket to go under the intake manifold to the transmission and remove the torque converter bolts (use a 22mm socket and breaker bar to spin the engine using the crank bolt to access all of the TC bolts).

Remove the bolt on the dogbone mount located at the back of the engine.

Remove the 14 MM bolt that bolts the tranny to the engine on the passenger side.

Unplug the 2 harnesses going down to the transmission located by the dogbone mount.

Unplug the speed sensor by the diff fluid tube on the passenger side.

Remove the exhaust.

Take out the ball joint bolts and separate the joint from the wheel hub.

Pop the axles off of the transmission(total removal isn't necessary as popping the ball joints loose gives you the play to move the axles out of the way).

Remove the heat shield and driveshaft.

Disconnect the 2 hoses on the driver side where the engine and tranny join.

Disconnect the shift linkage and the linkage bracket on the tranny.

Place your transmission jack under the tranny and make sure it is centered and secure.

Remove the 2 bolts securing the lower part of the tranny to the engine.

Remove the bolts from the transmission mount and remove the crossmember.

Your transmission is now ready to be removed.
