Yeah, you would really only need to pull the driveshaft off the rear of the transmission and pull the center diff off.... It would make getting it back together very difficult though. I cant imagine how I would have done it without standing the transmission straight up like in the pictures to get the plate seated and all of the shifter forks aligned initially. It took me hours to get the center diff section back on because you have to get the shifter linkage properly positioned while the transmission is in neutral and slowly and perfectly lower that section back on without letting it slip into gear (all while not messing up the bead of RTV that you lay down as a gasket between the sections)...
Has anyone here successfully reassembled the transmission/center diff section without removing the transmission?
