You don't have to bend the tabs. Just take the 3 bolts off the ears holding the mounts to the ZF, remove the 2 bolts holding the mounts and shims on each side and the gearbox will come out. When putting it back in, I put the gear box in place, bolted everything down, then inserted the mounts back into position from under the car and bolted them back in place. The ZF had to be rasied a little to get the mount back in on the drivers side. No big deal.
[QUOTE] If you have a dash 2 it takes longer unless you're willing to bend your side mount tabs to enable you to pull the ZF straight back.
