Ok, seeing your pic's brought back some memorys i'd just assume forget, all i had was a small 1 ton floor jack and it was not tall enough to lift my T case or my tranny high enough to do the install, so i ended up pushing them off to the side a little and positioned myself under the center of my truck, then i pulled the tranny onto my chest and used my arms and my knee to heft it up into place, then i had to do the same with the T case.. that was a beotch!

OK, ordered up the Twin Stick and long shift rails from ORD, should be here in a couple days! Since the mount for the shifter doesn't use the factory hole, I can use the defective coupler that is in the truck with new seals from 4X Heaven outta NY

The boot may cause a problem, but what else is new? Right!

Been there done that

, but I am much wiser to the mechanical techniques for solving problems (hydraulics)

. I'm big on the right tool for the job, plus I'm 60 and still have upper body strength, a trans on my chest would probably break a rib

plus. plus it was only 100 bucks at Harbour Freight

thanks Kurt, saw you use it alot, and had to have one

used some exhaust manifold studs to help get things aligned, don't forget to put it in gear and rotate the tailshaft, don't ask how I know...

problem with the passenger side diagonal brace on the crossmember, need to cut a 1 1/2" square to clear the pivot bolt

Just make sure the rear of the 205 is mounted correctly, ask me how I know.
