Like the title says. I'm so happy that my problem is the Tcase and not the tranny. Any help and/or pics would be great. Thanks.

Its and 88 auto with the 242.

Support the tranny, remove the crossmember, remove the bolts around the tcase that bolt it up to the tranny (5 or 6?). Slide the tcase of the output shaft of the tranny (you can actually bench it and slide out with it as it's not that heavy).

Isn't there some linkage too? HAHAHA

Oh yeah... linkage pops off with a big screwdriver out of a bushing. ALso you have a tcase vent which is probably bundled with other wires so you want to remove that from the tcase and a speedo sensor.

Kejtar, "(you can actually bench it and slide out with it as it's not that heavy)". How much would you say it weighs? I'm going to take out a 242 also. I'd hate to think it that it was going to weigh 200 when it might actually be a hefty 300.

I don't know how much it weights but if you search, I think the weights were discussed at one point or another. In any case I had no problem benching it and I'm on the skinnier/ligher side.

It's about 75-80 pounds. Make sure you drain it, or plug the end of it before you pull it off or you'll get a nice ATF bath if you tilt it the wrong way. A spare slipyoke is handy to use, if you have one.
