Replacing the timing belt and PCV system is not a reason to 'drop' the engine. Removing the tranny by itself is not an easy task, but removing the engine is even more difficult in my book. I have seen mechanics lift the engine/tranny up and out, and also watched as they removed the combination by lowering the sub frame to the ground and lifting the car. Both are major surgery and are dependent on the equipment you have available.

Upgrading the tranny to a 50/51 is more than just the TCM, there is extra wiring and an upgraded ECM if my memory serves me correctly.

I would find a 'good' tranny in a junk yard, inspect the current bevel gear while it is out, and leave the engine alone(except for the rear main seal).

If you had time, you should find out what really is wrong with the tranny. Replacing a few solenoids is much cheaper. Of course, if the torque converter is slipping, it is beyond hope.
