Remove the subframe? Would that not be removing the entire front undercarrage -leaving just the engine hanging by some means? I've done auto transmission replacements in dodge minivans - subframe didn't need to be removed , engine
suspended by improvised "hanger". I'm invisioning here unbolting the whole thing
from the unibody - correct?

You can do that.
At work I have braces that go from fender to fender where the bolts are that holds the fender on.Then hooks hold the motor using the braces.
Then you remove the subframe. Then lower the motor some more on the drivers side to slide the tranny out and leave the motor hanging.

I would do the clutch, throw out bearing, and the rear main seal also.
the tranny can be pulled out from the driver side wheel if you hold the motor up by any means, cross bar (like tech mentioned), engine lift, floor jack on the oil pan? you get the idea. and then you fully remove the bolts from the passenger side sub frame, and half way on the driver side. and the tranny slides right out.
i did the tranny/clutch job in a Saturday.

So, equipped with a floor jack or two, a means of "hanging" the engine, and removal
of the subframe(s) and this crossbar -and a sober helper, all can be done in -say 10
straight hours. Just what/where/how does this cross bar fit in? I gather it holds things together while the subframe is unbolted? Is the front suspension disassembled
as well? Sorry for my obvious ignorance, but my desire to attempt this myself has been bolstered by a $12-1300.00 repair shop estimate. I did admit that I was cheap.
