Stop in for a cup of coffee

So far the worst transmission i ever had to wrestle was the NP 435 in my 70 D100. For some reason the input shaft wouldn't slip in, even after I did that plastic spline dildo thing to it.

I had to get under the transmission and push it up with my knees and try to push, I probably looked like I was in labor but that little basterd just wouldn't go and it was heavy as hell. Finally I got a bolt started but still had to fight it all the way.

Been there. Last one was a 50 chevy 1 ton.pulling engine was nothing compared to getting transmission back in. Everything black with schmutz lumps of dirt constantly falling and i had to do it on the floor. I wanted to pull front sheet metal, owner was against it. Next time im not asking, just doing.
