275 viewsWhen putting the tranny mounts back together make sure you line up the peg with the hole to keep things from rotating.

273 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.

256 viewsThe left side is a pain in the neck, getting the CV past the starter, but mostly because it's greasy and just slows down the process as you wiggle back and down, back and down...

255 viewsI put a rag under the cabin shift rod to make it easier to maneuver when I had to put it back into the firewall bushing. Not really necessary if you have skinny fingers like me.

254 viewsLocation of the upper left nut (17mm) in the engine bay where the tranny mounts to the engine. The bolt is on the inner side of the starter and is used to hold the starter as well as affix the tranny to the engine. This nut can be removed without having to hold the bolt head as the bolt head is captured against the starter and thus won't rotate on you.
