[TR] Tranny install question

[James Henningsen]

Thanks and amen to that last line.  When it slides in, it is a very good
feeling indeed. Especially after wrestling with it for half an hour or more.
Cheers, Jim

My one man method which has always worked pretty good is to align and
support everything eyeballed to be as straight as possible, then put on a
pair of old jeans or overalls, sit on the tunnel behind the tranny and push
forward with your feet on the lip of the bell housing on both sides while
gently wiggling the tail shaft with your hands, works like a charm, but
still sometimes they go home very quickly, and sometimes the seem to be a
little, or a lot more stubborn.  That happy moment where it lines up and
slides on the last inch or whatever is one of the more satisfying feelings
in wrenching.
