Be sure to clean any leaked oil out from the transmission bellhousing while the oil pan is off, so that this doesn't happen to you.

No kidding LOL. I'm still at a loss to figure out how the oil worked it's way into the bellhousing. I don't recall tipping the pan when I dropped it, and obviosuly, I drained the oil first. I've had to clean up the mess twice so far after this job - the second time was a whole lot less oil. I sprayed a generous amount of brake cleaner into the drain hole to hopefully get any residual oil washed out. We'll see ..
