I haven't updated in a while, I've been holding back until I can post pictures, but I did get the transmission out. Going to need a new transmission crossmember (rusted through)... and bolts while I'm at it, they're pretty rusty. But it's out... got it hosed off for now. Turns out the shift linkage DOES 'just' lift off of the transmission. Problem was that it was caked and surrounded with crap so I couldn't really just lift it off, but I was eventually successful. I'll get the dip stick tube off, tighten the pan bolts, clean it up a bit more and put it into storage on a lower shelf somewhere hopefully in the next couple of days.
So now I can roll the car out of the garage again (since the transmission isn't resting on wooden blocks anymore) and clean up the floor, clean out the car more, etc. I'd like to get the brakes working and get my bench/table set up so I can practice welding.
