That's because, in a perverse sort of way, it's simple job.  The
instructions consist of removing about ten things, putting in some new
parts, and ressembling.

the ten things are probably listed somewhere very cryptically and run
something like this...

undo downpipe to cat, lower exhaust out of way
remove heatsheilds
remove downpipe (perhaps)
undo all shafts from transmission
remove transmission

that sort of "simple" stuff...

you'll want to replace:

clutch/pressure plate/throwout bearing/pilot bearing (these usually come
as a set)
rear main seal & rear main seal flange gasket
tranny input seal
and it's a great time to swap the tranny fluid and tranny mounts.

Plan on getting real dirty and real sore...
