[TR] How Many Gearheads Does it Take to Put in a Tranny?

[Bob Danielson]

And don't forget the need for a good back! There's lots of stuff I could
lift 10 years ago that I won't go near now....without help.

My goodness. I don't recall one instance in the 39 years I have owned TRs 4a
& 6 that I have not done tranny (OD and not) removals and re-installations
as solo projects. Mostly out of necessity. First go rounds were rough. Now
though through lots of practice over the years I can do the whole job (if I
have all the necessary parts) in just about 6 hours. I does help being slim,
tall and having long arms and the resultant leverage advantages. However I
am living proof that it can be done successfully and safely.

My experience is that it takes two gearheads to take out a transmission and
two or three to put  one back in depending of if it's overdrive or non
overdrive.  With the overdrive Transmission I like to have two gearheads
under the car supporting the transmission and lining it up and one in the
car maneuvering the transmission and turning the tail flange to line up the
main shaft with the clutch plate.
	In my opinion its not worth the chance of messing up the main shaft
or something else by trying to remove/replace the transmission without
adequate help.
