The car needs to be high enough to slide the transmission out, so the height of the bellhousing plus an inch or two of wiggle room. The front part of the exhaust likely needs to come out. Headers might need to come loose. You might consider building some 2x4 wheel cribbing. Jack the front up, put the cribbing under the wheels. While you could do this for the front, same wheel cribbing height could be done for the back and make things a bit easier. A couple links about wheel cribs: https://youtu.be/wmdwo3UPQtY?si=jQd-UFzeaQuO3-qQBuilding Wheel Cribs https://youtu.be/gJ7t_WxgMK8?si=BowieBdX0wKCFTrwLifting the car onto the wheel cribs

The transmission once on the ground can be slid out till the BH hits the exh / frame. Secure to torque converter with a small metal strap so it doesn't fall out during the next step Pick up the tailshaft to lower the top of the BH and slide it out. On a few cars, turning the wheels tot heir stops will allow added clearance as the frame rail starts the upward slant. I would advise not getting the car so high that it's uncomfortable to reach up unless you have LONG arms. DO NOT FORGET TO DIAL IN THE NEW BELL HOUSING. The ONLY correctly sized offset pins I am aware of are made by Brewers. Based on experience .007 is usually good with a Quicktime housing, but I would advise getting .014's as well. Murphy's law applies here. If you get them, you won't need them. If you don't, You will

My Cuda has 2 1/4" TTIs on the Hemi and the tranny (727) is not coming out with the headers in place. And getting to the bolts to loosen the headers is a real challenge. Especially that passenger side. Now your smaller tubes may be different. I certainly hope so. Good luck!

Yep, I like the band clamps. But the problem in my car is the header collectors not the exhaust. Again, the OP's smaller tubes may make his job easier. But with my 2 1/4" tubes, there is no way the tranny is coming out past them. And getting them loose at the head (at least on the passenger side) would be very difficult and may not give enough room even then.

Yeah, it wasn't fun to get the headers and bolts in. The headers have been installed for 15 years without leaks so I suppose its time to pull them and replace the gaskets. I personally did not have as good luck with the stainless steel clamps. They still leaked a little even with a new exhaust. The muffler guy welded them solid to the rest of the exhaust. It fixed the leaks, but I lost the serviceability I was going for. Should've had him flange the joints If anyone does flange their pipes, Please DO NOT use to the one size fits all slotted bolt hole type.

If I need to make any repairs to my exhaust (and it looks like I will) I am going to use the ball and socket rather than flange. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7NKfwakH94
