Transmission fun
So the cribbing idea to floor jack idea was a fail. It was really the sled. I lifted it and the angle was just off. I couldn't access the bolt to lock it to the jack. So i pulled it off the sled onto my chest and just didn't have enough power to lift it. On the dismount I dislodged the tail shaft plug and half the fluid ended up in my glove.
I regrouped and made a tiny little holder made of wood and bolted it to my jack that had a better angle. I drained the fluid at least what a 45 degree tilt would allow. I'll probably try the drain plug at another date. I balanced it in the holder and ratchet strapped it to the jack. Then wiggled and slid it under the car.A little closer and up
Only inches.
Jut the pilot bearing to go.
It took some wiggling and up and down and a jab to clock it, but it finally seated.
I threaded 1 bolt finger tight and wiggled a little more until it seated all the way.
