It is the sway bar which is my main PITA for pulling the tranny. An hour each way is pretty quick - A lift would help a lot - getting the car up high enough to get the engine out from under the car is tricky using jacks.

That Rennlist post was for a 2.7. The newer cars with oxygen sensors have a 12 pin connector to be disconnected also.

Partial drop is the way to go for access for small jobs.

I solved the idiot light leak issue by taking off the sender, opening it up, gutting it, drilling a hole down its middle, tapping it, and screwing in a bolt, with sealant, into the hole. This was about the 4th sender which failed, despite reinforcing its seal with epoxy. To retain the warning function, I bought a combo idiot light/oil pressure sender, which screws in where the pressure sensor goes, and just extended the idiot light wire to it. VDO makes these.
