Re: 97 2.3ltr 5 speed transmission drop and replace slave.
I think the starter must be removed and the shift linkage also. The bell housing has a couple alignment 'dowels' or ferrules that can hold it in place until you give it a good shake.
It will then fall on you after you pull it rearwards to get the input shaft out of the disk.
Driveshaft and speedo cable, reverse light connection, and rear crossmember all need to be removed.
