Message: [QUOTE="Freightshaker, post: 603875, member: 7507"] Get s good transmission jack and a couple feet of extension with a swivel. Ease transmission and engine back together. It should all drop into place. Don't pull them together with bolts or you could do serious damage. Chock wheels good. Here is a rough outline. Sorry if I'm missing something, it has been awhile. I know there are some shields and this and that's I missed. Pull drive shafts out of way, unhook electrical, unbolt cross member and use jack to lift t case/tranny/engine to aid in removal of cross member. Yank out t case.

Unhooked fluid cooler lines and electrical. Made notes and scores of how shift cable attached. Unbolted from engine and slid back. [ATTACH=full]105273[/ATTACH] Here is a big NO. Do not rig it on the jack like I did. DUMB! Once the wood got drenched in fluid they would shoot out like soap if you looked at it wrong. The pan really sucks and the jack was a bare flat plate. It ended up doing a rollover trick off the jack but in slow motion and luckily didn't hurt anything. What more can I saw I f*cked up. Anyway notice towels plastic and tape. Keep exposed internals covered and clean! Tape off lines, vents, dipstick tube also [ATTACH=full]105274[/ATTACH] If you stay organized staging your parts and hardware this really is a breeze. Everything will be drenched in ATF. Toss a few quarts in new TC if you get one. Putting back together is just reverse order. Once done I pulled transmission pan and changed filter. [/QUOTE]
