There is 2 bolts to the starter after that the starter should come out easy.Then there's 4 bolts surrounding the transmission.Remove all 4 and wiggle transmisssion out.If you're facing the engine, there's 2 covers covering the flywheel.Remove and you can get to transmission to get it out after removing bolts.

I think you have to unbolt the flexplate from the round thing. (whatever that thing is called between the transmission and the engine . . . . )

You can get access to the bolts through the covers.
