hey man, search for that, there is actually a bunch of threads on that exact subject… installing a tranny by your lonesome. It is very easy to get it up there… lining up the pilot shaft into the bushing and all that might be a different story depending… good luck ---

auto tranny’s are a bitch. They wiegh like 300lbs. Use a jack to hold it up and then lower it when you undo all the bolts with the jack. ---

prodigy and i did a clutch job on an SR. easy way to put the tranny back yourself (assuming the car is sitting on axle stands) is to raise up the front of the transmission with a jack, bench press the tranny, line it up and slide it in. i’m sure this isn’t the easiest way but it works.
