While I don't discount a well made hoist, I'd vote for the "enlist a
friend or two" approach. A reasonably strong dude can lift the
tranny out. Putting it back it helps to have someone laying under
the car helping to guide the front of the tranny as well as someone
inside the car.<br><br>
Have done it at the track in a TR4 a few times. Not the most fun
job, but very doable with two reasonably strong people.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I recall seeing photos of a
hoist someone made to R&R the gearbox. The tricky bit was
dealing with the center of gravity which is well forward of the scuttle -
required an arrangement of multiple bars and chains as I recall.<br><br>
Looks like a lot of work to me but an elegant solution
nonetheless.<br><br>

and<br>
<dd>a video or two on building your own hoist. Not soon

<dd>BUT, there IS a dumpster down the street full of lumber. Wish
me luck!!<br><br>
