Pull the rear end back, remove the shift tower and unbolt the rear bearing retainer. Pull out the U-joint + main shaft far enough to switch the gears around, then push it back in and replace the brearing retainer bolts + wire. This way, you can leave the transmission and clutch assembly attached to the engine. The only hard part is the bleepin' rear end.
