I rightsided it 2X before going out and buying a trans jack adapter, only issue was that to get it under it had to go in on its side(trans). So I ended up putting the trans on the floor, sliding it under the car on a board. putting the tail end of the trans on the trans jack, then lifting the front with one arm and sliding the jack with the trans adapter under the front with the other.

The trans is now in postion....still need to stab the pilot bearing.

PS: 16"s of clearance is definately not enough! Wife also is out hounding me also....when is this going to be done.

Lee did you make some guide studs to screw into the bell housing yet? If not I would suggest you do it. They will help you line up and guide the trany in.
