If anything I think I would attempt to pull it from the top, although, when my 93 tranny went out I just left it set up at our apartments main office. Still setting there 4 months later with expired plates. I've only pulled transmissions from back wheel drive cars and trucks, so I am not absolutely certain if that's the way to go. It may help to get a repair manual for procedures reguarding removing the transmission. That's a pretty big job, fwd cars are a PITA!!!!
Fixing the problem your self is a great idea, considering to have someone else do it, it's $1,200, or sometimes even more. The down fall is that these cars are notorious for bad transmissions. Which basically means you could be right where you started in 6 months. That's why I just left mine, if it get's towed who cares! :) I mean it's a nice car, definately worth fixing, but not if it's going to break again. I just can't tolerate that for a 93. I think I am just mad cause my Taurus was a daily driver, now I have to drive my Ranger 2.9L V6 with a custom ground drag cam to work everyday. Wakes me up really good, but not good on gas at all.

You don't say what car you have but if it is a taurus
That is the way you pull it out. You unbolt the subframe and support the engine and drop it out the bottom.
If you are serious about doing this you need to buy a Haynes or CHiltons manual before you do it.
It will give you a step by step
