425 viewsMy rebuilt tranny still had oil in it. But tipping it on it's bell-housing would let the oil leak out the breather port. So I pushed a plug into the hole on the breather and securly zip-tied it. Worked perfectly to hold the oil in while I swapped tail covers.

364 viewsNew tranny going in the opposite way it came out. This was my view of wiggling and pushing the tranny into the car, trying to get the lower engine studs to pass through the tranny bell-housing holes as well as having the splines line up on the tranny input shaft.
