Well once I bought a new 9/16 gear wrench it went OK. You know gravity takes over at some point. Freaking thing is very heavy. Will for sure need a trans jack to reinstall..needs a serious rearward tilt.
Hey Tim the last time I R&I my tranny I used 2 small rachet straps under the tranny and put the hooks in existing holes in the frame and ratcheted it down and back in. Worked slick.
