it took 3.5 hours and two drunk friends who did little to nothing, the only problem i had was getting one of the bell housing bolts, left side, one from bottom i could not fit anything in there, but finally got it, i think putting it back in will be a mo fo.. but i am happy it went as well as it did

 

Back when I worked on cars, I would lower the trans a bit with the cross member unbolted. This always seemed to help using a swivel socket or a wrench. Ahh the old days of working on cars.....don't miss it. I like the drunk friends story!

 

i love to work on my car, i want 11s some day with me doing most of everything, and i lowered the trans and still could not get that one very well, and drunk friend get in the way more than help.
