Not quite.
The tranny cradle will need to be unbolted from the body. That has adjustments for left-right and fore-aft. Mark those before removing those four bolts.
As for WYAIT action, look at re-packing the CV joints. Another thing to consider is swapping the half shaft between sides. If you've had one apart you can see that the balls wear into the races. Swapping sides makes it wear on the fresh faces.
I've done this a couple of times. If you drop the cradle (four bolts) you can get the tranny in/out without removing the suspension from the cradle or the front lower A-arm mounts. May have to remove some brake lines.
One more things: there are six bolts between the TT and transmission. I spent some good time wondering what was frozen before finding them.
Good luck.
