433 viewsThis is what I saw when on the tanny end when I removed the tail cover. That dumbbell looking gear stack directly in front is what goes on the shaft that is inside the tail cover.

415 viewsMy rebuilt tranny still had oil in it. But tipping it on it's bell-housing would let the oil leak out the breather port. So I pushed a plug into the hole on the breather and securly zip-tied it. Worked perfectly to hold the oil in while I swapped tail covers.

354 viewsNew tranny going in the opposite way it came out. This was my view of wiggling and pushing the tranny into the car, trying to get the lower engine studs to pass through the tranny bell-housing holes as well as having the splines line up on the tranny input shaft.

353 viewsNew firewall shifter bushing installed (soak in BOILING HOT WATER for ~30-60 seconds, place in hole, put a 24mm socket against it, and hit with hammer). The vice-grips greatly helped get the cabin shift rod into the under-engine shift rod joint.
