Thanks Jim.  I did the same.  I think the biggest problem was getting the 
splines to line up and to get the tranny to be in the right horizontal 
plane as it balanced on the jack.  This is probably about the 4th time 
I've done it like this, and the very hardest time.  Hopefully there won't 
be another time soon.

Jay,
       Use 30wt. NON-detergent oil in your overdrive transmission per the 
Laycock factory recommendation.  I always change transmissions/clutches 
from the bottom.  I raise the rear of the car as high as possible, 
allowing the transmission to be dropped down to a horizontal plane.  It is 
much easier to re-mate the combo when you aren't "pushing" uphill.
