Even with the clutch alignment tool you have to put some elbow grease into putting the tranny on and DONT let the tranny hang by the shaft in the clutch or it may grenade on you one day. Ive never had a hand installing a tranny under a car but it would be soo much easier if you get a second set of hands to lift the tail of the tranny while you bench the front of it. Another tip is to put the tranny in gear before you install it and put the back half of the driveshaft into the tranny and have your partner spin it while your both getting the tranny into place. Grease on the tranny shaft will help a lot. ---

If you got access to a lathe simply take all the measurements and make yourself one. Took all of 5 minutes to make a Pilot Bushing Removal/Clutch Alignment Tool which I now keep in the bottom of the tool box. ---
