Not long. Much easier than any other car I have ever done it on. Just drop the drive-shaft by taking off the bolts on the diff..Then sliding the drive-shaft out. Take of the bell housing bolts. I think there should be 5 including the 2 that hold up the starter. Then the 4 bolts to the trans mount. Put the transmission in first and slide it out. Blah..Blah...Blah...It's still very easy. But you will have to take 2 of the diff bolts off, then roll the car to turn the driveshaft to take the other 2 off. Thats the hardest part.

sence it is your first time... it will probably be 2 1/2 to 4 hrs to do the complete job.....also get a can of pb blaster... it will help taking the exaust off.

Thanks for the info I didn't get around to it yesterday. Hope fully I can Thurs.
The exhaust wasn't that hard to remove last time, all the bolts are pretty new. The previous owner must have changed them out when he added the RB exhaust.
By the way Kevin, I saw you (your car anyways) today leaving the Kroger on R.P. when I was leaving the bank in the same lot. I was in my wifes car though. the 7 looks preety clean.
