Get a cargo strap,
Set Emergency Brake,
Get something to put all the parts in.

here's stuff to do in no particular order:

Disconnect the clutch cable
Ligthly wedge a chunk of 2x4 between the top of engine and fire wall to keep the engine tail from drooping.
Remove Tail Pipe
Drain transmission
Trace the wires from transmission up to firewall and disconnect
Remove shifter
Remove drive shaft
Remove starter
Remove the bar that runs across under the transmission.

Remove Tail Pipe

Use cargo strap to hold transmission up, run it over the bars that connect your wind sheild to roll cage, then down thru the shifter hole and around the transmission.

Unbolt the rear mount. (disconnect mount from transmission and body bracket)
Remove undo the 4 bolts that hold the transmission to the engine.

Swear until you get the transmission down and out.

Replace Clutch, etc

Swear until you get the transmission up and in.
Reverse process.
