What you have to do is jack the car up. Pull the hood off for more room. Remove the CV Joints and then unbolt the the motor mounts. After having a cherry picker hooked up to the engine, pull the engine/tranny. Pull apart the set and reverse your actions.

You have to remove the passengers side wheel, and unbolt it that way. Or lift the engine, either way is a tiresome job, Id check local shops for quotes before I tackled it.

It requires demating the transmission from the engine. It's easiest done by entirely removing the engine from the car. You should have the work done by a professional.
