Rotating the trans. we used a jack to get it up there. make sure the car is steady as you will be shaking it some.

We bolted up the T56 from below. we started with the clutch already on then the bell housing from below. this was followed by sliding in the t56 which went in easyer than these photos show. we did have to rotate the trans a little and then rotate the crank a little but this took only minutes.

Bolting it in was a hassle though. The clearance around the a/c compressor at the bottom is tight. The drivers side was a piece of cake.

Fits like a glove. Plenty of room on both sides but It did not look that way in the beginning so don't freak when you start the process. keep trying until you find the correct angles in the drop down process.

Bolting in the engine. This was harder then I thought. Very little clearance on the a/c compressor side.
