Default Help on dropping tranny? 4.0 4x4

Hey guys, it's looking like I'm going to have to drop my (edit: manual) trans on my 1999 b4000. Does anyone have any words of wisdom before I dive in?

Looks like the y pipe is going to have to come off, as well as the t-case of course. Are there any detailed write ups of the procedure? I haven't found any good ones for the 4.0.

I've never dropped a transmission before but I am confident in my ability, been maintaining my own vehicles for a while now and have decent experience getting my hands dirty. I don't have a trans jack but I have a few floor jacks and several stands. Been soaking the exhaust bolts in pb blaster for the past few days and am wondering if there's anything else I can do to make it a bit easier when the time comes. Thanks guys!

You don't say, but I am guessing it's a slushbox. For going back in, I would recomend renting a trans jack if you don't want to buy one. They make installation easy.

My bad! it's a 5-speed manual tranny. Can't believe I forgot to mention that
