I removed the drive shaft, transmission cross member, and exhaust and was able to tilt the trans enough to where I could remove all the hardware for the side pan and slip it out. It does help if you have medium sized hands for sure though because it does get tight towards the top of the trans tunnel. A long 1/4 ratchet and good lighting will be your best friend to get this done. I also replaced the mechatronics O-ring which is probably the hardest thing to do without dropping the trans. All this was done in the evening after work for two days so about 4-5 hours total time granted I did it all on the floor on my back.. here's some pics of the before and after.
