Anybody want to help me put my transmission back in? I’ve got just one jack and me by myself. Me and my dad got the spline shaft about 3 inches below where it needs to go, but thats it…we can’t jack the tranny up any more as the top is hititng the body. Any tips? Want to get this done before it gets too cold.

I got $20 and a bottle of crown royal if you can help me get this done.  
I’m in East Scarborough close to pickering.

Let me know,  
Tom

sorry to hear it.

put someone in the car with a rope (we use seatbelts) to lift the tailstock through the shifter hole… some one else to benchpress the shit in place…

Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely try lifting it from inside the car. That was a major problem, it was real hard to maneuvuer with so many people under the car each not sure how to guide it in. Great tip! Thanks!

you can do it with out undoing the front mounts, just jack up the front of the motor with a piece of wood between the jack and the crank pully. Just jack up the front untill you see the back of the motor start to go up.
