Made some good progress tonight. I got the engine out and got the trans off. Turns out I didn't take off two 10mm bolts holding the dust shield on! Oh well, its all easy to get to now.
Here are some pics:
Engine up and out!
Got the transmission removed very easily after removing those two 10mm bolts!
Going to have to crack this open soon to replace the bearing. I'm really hoping the gearing isn't damaged. However, I can't feel hardly any play in the input shaft, so I'm guessing its okay.
The clutch looks like its about done for.
So, I ordered a bunch of parts tonight:
ball joints
valve cover gasket (its leaking)
timing belt & water pump kit
clutch kit
input shaft seal
output shaft seals
oil filters
air filter
cabin air filter
