The first thing I have to ask is , Why did I think I could do this ?

Next I had to get the transmission back in . Replaced the throw-out bearing, rear bearing and seal. Never easy...I finally resorted to the push the tail over the cross member, roll the tranny on to my chest, and do a push up with it . It went up and in. No problems but a lot of back and blue marks on my arms and body.

Using a jack, I lifted up the rear with cross member and bolted it to frame
