[TR] Ref incantation

[Greg Lemon]

I take a cruder approach, but it has been fairly effective, get the thing
started and propped up.  Assuming your seats are removed sit on the prop
shaft tunnel, push the front lip of the transmission forward with your feet
while manipulating the end of the transmission and turning the tail shaft
with your hand.  A little fettling and with any luck you will quickly find
the sweet spot and it will slide right in and you get that satisfying clunk
when it hits home.
