I know this is kinda a drivetrain thread, but is there a trick to getting the tranny out the way so i can remove my m'f'n clutch and flywheel and get this rms properly seated? Any advice is appreciated.

I'm guessing you have the non-turbo transmission? You pretty much have to drop the trans to get at the seal. Are you asking how to drop the trans, or am I missing what you're asking.

I over looked something super simple in the process. I got it out.

Easier to remove the engine.

Was it the 10mm hex shaft that holds the clutch fork in? I wrestled for over an hour with an engine before calling someone for advice and was told about that damn hex shaft.
