X3!!!

Glad to hear the reverse band was not that bad, once you could get to it, did you drop the tranny, or pull the engine with it? I've heard that sometimes it is difficult to get everything aligned when one is left in the car on these . . .

I just pulled the tranny....I bought the cheap scissor jack at harbor freight and it worked out great. I took the engine shocks out and got as much rear tilt on the engine when I reinstalled everything...so I could come up with the tranny at an angle. It was easier to keep the torque converter in that way.
