Take the motor mount thru bolts out, take the bolt off the tranny mount and raise it up with a cherry picker as far as it will go.
Or you can do it the hard way and try and snake the gasket around in one piece and get oil all over it, have it not seal, and have to do it again. To do it right you need to take brake cleaner to all mating surfaces.
