I put my 4 speed tranny on a shipping scale Sunday and it weighs in at 73
pounds without an OD. It takes a manly man to move it around by yourself.

The hardest part about pulling the tranny is putting it back in... Tranny
with no OD weighs around 60lbs, with OD around 100lbs and it is very awkward
to get into position and mated to the engine. There seems to be no device
that can help with this process so it is brute force, snatch and heave. Very
manly activity though. Removing the engine and tranny as a unit takes longer
but is overall less stressful and more deterministic and it facilitates all
those other little projects that you have been putting off.
Does that sleeve need the crank to be reground or does it just slide over
the rear seal surface ?

Al,
This is when shipwrights can enter the equation! Pull the engine and tranny
as a unit and you can do all sorts of winter projects on both! From what
I've heard, the hardest part of pulling the tranny by itself is getting the
starter off. Having said that.............at VTR in Valley Forge this
summer, a guy swapped out his tranny in the parking lot!

Its time to replace the clutch on the TR6; I almost got run over trying to
accelerate onto I-85 today.
Its probably got about 2 weeks left in it before it totally quits.
The Luk kit came a few days ago. Now I am waiting on a Speedie Sleeve to
put on the rear crank.
Any tips on pulling the trannie. How difficult is it to lift out? I
remember some talk about using some dowels to line it up on the install.
Thanks
Al
