[Healeys] Re-installing Tranny?

[Simon Lachlan]

It's just a HEAVY lumpish sort of a job, not difficult. Done it twice in a
day. Got it 100% in (carpets, seats etc) and then had to remove, fix and
reinstall. Don't ask.

Mark it is not too bad to line up.  I have done this a half dozen times.

Scott,
     I have read a lot of feedback through out the last decade on this
routine.  After the major expense of redoing the trany it makes sense to
reinstall it the right way.   Pull the engine too .   Whats another couple
of weeks down time in order to get the thing lined up right.   You need a
good cherry picker, ($150.) and a leveler to do it right.   While the engine

is out you can tidy up the rest of the compartment.

Lining up the trany input shaft has to be a hellashias deal when the engine
is in the car.

Good Luck,   Mark
