I'd use a slab of plywood the same size as the tranny's pan , the gusseting should prevent any denting .
Also , stop now and take the time to de grease & wash the body tunnel and tranny side as _one_ bit of road grime will kill the tranny and you're going to be rubbing the backs of your hands on the body tunnel
whilst the tranny is open....

I have removed the 4 bolts on the cross bar that holds up the transmission. In order to drop the transmission further in order to access the B2 Piston cover I believe I need to disconect the transmission from the drive shaft. This is accomplished by undoing the flexidisk bolts.
