[TR] transmission installation

[Greg Lemon]

When doin
























When doing it by myself, once I get it wrestled in and started with the 
input shaft started into the clutch, I make sure it is supported in some way 
from underneath, then I straddle the tunnel just behind the tranny, grasp 
the tail of the tranny by hand and push on the lip of the bell housing with 
my feet.  you can turn the tranny, as well as gently align things with you 
hands, and apply pressure with your feet so it goes in when it is all lined 
up.
