Squeeze the two yellow tabs together and pull straight out.

ok, that's out of the way. i thought it would click when i squeezed the tabs, but i just had to pull on it.

any tricks to removing the shifter cables?

is the removal process pretty standard? as far as unbolting the flexplate from the TC before unbolting the tranny from the block?

Cables just pop off.

Removal is standard. You have it right.

Why is it coming out?

the front seal is leaking. so, i'll have a local transmission shop go through it as well while it's out. it's got 115k miles on it.

And DON'T forget to have 'em relocate the vent to the top of the housing.
