A hot tip on installing the transmission when the engine is still in the car....

This is not an unusual job since clutch burn out more than engines do. But lining that thing back up when it weighs one million pounds is not easy if you don't have gravity working for you.

I always try to jack up the car so that the transmission has to be at a slightly downward tilt when stabbing the clutch. It balances out better when you are trying to manhandle that transmission into the tiny hole the shaft has to fit into the pilot bearing.

No extreme angle is needed. Just a little bit goes a long way.
