This is a tough, time consuming job. It is important that you are with the program when you tackle this. ( Not for beginners ).There are about 18 steps to follow to get it apart which include possibly removing motor mounts and having special tools to re align the crank shft position sensor ( misplaced sensor will be shreded at $ 75 a pop ), draining coolant and oil, partial disassembly of oil pump, measureing wear on on thrust plates etc..

Please advise of your skill level before continueing.

This is the best advice I can give you to this point. :!: :!:
