Clutch job E-30?

[JHahn22@xxxxxxx]

Hello everyone,
It looks like I need to replace the throwout bearing on my 89 325i.  I bought 
the clutch kit from Bavarian Autosport, and am about ready to get my hands 
dirty.  I've read and re-read what the bentley manual has to say about the 
job a couple times and I think I've got a pretty good handle on it, but I've 
never messed with the underside of a BMW before and would like to know if 
anyone has any tips or gotcha's to look out for.
I've never pulled out a transmission without removing it with the engine (I'm 
normally an Alfa guy).  Will a rolling floor jack and a small piece of 
plywood be enough to remove and install the transmission without too much 
difficulty?  How tricky is this part of the job?  How heavy is this trans?
I see from Bentley that "Microlube GL 261" is supposed to be used on the 
trans input shaft and clutch disc splines. . . it gives a BMW part number 
with it.  Do I need this stuff specifically, or is this just plain old moly 
grease, or some other familiar car goop?
I also have the engine rear seal, and trans front seal with the clutch kit.  
How difficult is this part?  I haven't found any description on these two 
parts yet in Bentley.  But I haven't looked real hard.  Any tricks or tips 
here?
Thanks in advance for any help on this,
I'm pretty sure I'll have more questions before I'm done with this one.
