are you pulling with a picker or dropping it out the bottom???
if with a picker do you have a load adjuster???
if you do pull it with the trans attached its easyer to get the trans unbolted/bolted on with it out of the car... its how i always do it. as for the speed limiter remove the speed sensors(or attach a switch to them so you can see how fast ur going in 4th and 5th with the switch off turn it on and no limiter but no speedo either)
