You can remove the U clamps from around the universal on the rear end and then move the driveshaft forward and drop it down and it slides out of the tranny. If its full fluid will pour out the tranny when the drivesahft comes out.

You can not remove the universals while the driveshaft is in the car. The universals are the parts that make the driveshaft pivot. The part the the u joint hooks to in the tranny is at the very end of the driveshaft and slides right out of the tranny.

There are two u clamps on the end of the drive shaft around the u joint that hold it to the rear end. Remove those and slide the shaft into the trans. You may need to pry it out of the rear end because it is a tight fit. When its free from the rear end pull it out of the trans.

If you got those u clamps of then you may need to put a pry bar or big screw driver between the u joint and the yoke on the rear end and pry it out. They are a very snug fit and with a little rust will stick
