I honestly don't see how this is possible from under the car. If memory 
serves you can't even SEE the back of the trans from underneath. It's on top 
of the frame box thing that the exhaust goes thru. 
However if you remove the cover, unbolt the prop shaft, unbolt the rear mount 
and then raise the rear of the tranny up - my guess is it's do-able, though 
probably not easy. Worth a try, as you have to do all this to pull the g-box 
anyhoo. 

I would probably try it and then test it out to check for leaks before I 
buttoned it all back up.
