Basically you need to move the engine forward to gain enough room to slide/twist/turn the tranny out. Here are the main steps: 1. remove rear wheel 2. remove swingarm 3. remove battery 4. loosen connection where headers meet the mufflers 5. remove both carbs from the heads and hang on string from the handlebars (to lessen the strain on the carb cables) 6. put jack (roll around type) under engine 7. remove engine and tranny support bolts 8. remove the nuts from the engine studs that hold the tranny to engine 9. remove the battery tray from tranny and tool boxes 10. unbolt the rear light switch (gets it out of the way) 11. push engine forward as far as possible 12. remove clutch arm from back of tranny 13. wrestle the tranny off the engine and out When you push the engine forward, the headers should pull out of the mufflers. If you don't keep the engine level, you might bend the pipes a bit. I ended up removing the two headers to make things easier. Whilst everything was all out, I renewed several items such as electrical connections, frayed wires (especially on the underside of the rear fender), inspected the U-joint, repainted the battery tray, battery hold down, and air breather box.
