Interesting that when I first assembled my car I thought it would be too difficult to muscle that 95 lb thing in by hand and I used an engine hoist to suspend it and work it in. This time (and several years older) I just yanked it out and shoved it back in by hand. Not light work but not as bad as I thought it would be. Worst part was maneuvering it through the little door way. The nose of the input actually bumped my door front while I was concentrating on getting the tail housing clear but it was a glancing tap and no paint damage done. Those four threaded rods make it much easier - once I get it hung on those it's just a matter or picking up the rear and guiding it in with a little push.

Dan,
I was joking--you don't want that drive shaft spinning close to stuff that could get caught. That being said, the tranny sure is purdy!
Oh, and you get lots of man points for strong arming that bad boy into place!
