removal of transmission in a day, is it possible?

[KingKJ]

so i'm going to be attempting to remove my transmission out of my jeep liberty in the span of about 1 and 1/2 daysish, Any tips on how to get this done such as shortcuts I can take? If I have to I can do it over more time, but I'd prefer to get it out as quickly as possible. I'm not replacing, only removing.

Usually the service info is good. In many cases not taking short cuts greatly speeds up the job. Pull the transfer case off first in order to make transmission removal easier. I would be gentle with the connectors. Push in connector release lock tab and then remove the connector.

well I'm not caring about keeping anything in good condition except for the transmission itself, everything else is pretty much useless, I've already identified that I can just cut the exhaust pipes out of the way and cut the wires to the o2 sensors instead of unplugging/unbolting. I've also been unsuccessful in finding a ton of info on how to do this so I'm trying to get any advice I can find, This vehicle is never going to have a transmission again, so that's the only reason why I'm even attempting this.

Cut everything that's in your way in that case. Unbolt starter, remove ring gear bolts, remove trans mount and remove bell housing bolts and pull it out.

Had the trans out within a day a few times. Usually takes longer to put it all back together.

Thats working on a driveway or concrete floor... blocking, axle stands, jack, and a creeper sort of operation.

Typed in "jeep liberty transmission removal" and this is the first thing that pops up.

Definitely drain the transmission first. (Remove pan). Drain torque converter too, if possible. Otherwise you have a 95% chance of an ATF lake on the ground.
