A3040E removal

[supraheelfan]

I need to know why I've been told to disconnect the steering gear housing and tie rod ends when removing the A3040E tranny from my mx83? I removed the W58 without disconnecting any steering parts. Will the suspension parts get messed up when I drop the tranny?
Sorry the tranny code is A304e not A3040E sorry
I think i figured out somewhat of a reason why the repair manual says to remove the steering gear housing when removing the tranny. I figure the newer models have more steering components and without disconnecting them it could damage them when the motor moves up and down from tranny removal b/c of the flexibility of the motor mounts. (anybody can correct me if I'm wrong so feel fee to) maybe even to give more flexibility for the motor to move up and down for easier access and removal.
