Installing a trans



 Get 4 bolts, two about 6" long and two 4" long. I seem to remember 9/16 - 18, but I could be wrong, this is from memory. Line the tranny up with the bellhousing and start them together. Insert the two longer bolts in the upper left and lower right corners of the tranny and start them in the bellhousing. Alternate tightening the two bolts a few turns each until the threads on the bolts are used up. Unscrew the two 6" bolts and replace them with the 4" bolts and repeat the operation. If the tranny starts to bind, put it in gear and rotate the yoke on the tail to be sure the splines are engaged properly. You can push the tranny by hand the last couple of inches. Insert the tranny bolts in the two exposed holes finger tight, remove the two 4" bolts and replace them with the two tranny bolts. Torque to spec.
