    Do you have a haynes or chilton's manual? If not, buy one, read it,
    then ask questions.

    And no I'm pretty sure the tranny doesnt have to come out.

        Try cleaning it and polishing it?

        just a thought.

                    your post was almost right, you just left out the part about repainting it... to protect it
                    There are rust cleaner kits
                    I would clean all the rust off and spray paint over it really good

                        ya, i know you wanna change it out (hard to do)
                        but im saying you can just easily repair it real quick

                        but, its a critical component so if you insist on swapping it out, go for it

                            i wouldnt take it off just to paint it, unless there was a area you couldnt get to.
                            Youre gonna have to have an engine lift i believe. its alot of work, but i havent done it before
