engine + tranny on jig

I wish I could tell you that from yesterday's post I picked up the transmission, slid it into the clutch and bolted it up.

It was more like:

  1. Lift the engine
  2. Disassemble the stand and remove
  3. Circular saw the stand in half since it blocked the jack from lifting the transmission
  4. Take out the trans put it on a furniture dolly and slide it back in.
  5. Lower the engine and shim
  6. Slide on the trans and bolt up
  7. Lift engine and jack trans
  8. Reassemble the stand
  9. Lower the engine and shim

Completed that in one hour which was exactly my time budget, and progress goal for today.
BTW as you can see, the trans fits in there really nice.  I have plenty of room to dogleg the shifter under the center console if I need it, but it won't need much.  The shifter is only about 2 inches forward of where the focus shifter was.  The engine feels really low right now.  I think I have some fiddling to do yet.
