I just reinstalled my tranny on the 87tdt w124, i have the torque converter on the flywheel and all the bolts on the bell housing, but i just realized i did not install the bowden, even after taking the pan down i still cant reach to install the bowden cable and hook it up properly.
Any tips, i really would not want to take it down again, i am on jackstands and the space is limited and uncomfortable for doing tranny swaps.

I unfortunatly did the same thing. I ended up having to lower it to get the cable on. Sorry for the bad news.
