When doin
When doing it by myself, once I get it wrestled in and started with the
input shaft started into the clutch, I make sure it is supported in some way
from underneath, then I straddle the tunnel just behind the tranny, grasp
the tail of the tranny by hand and push on the lip of the bell housing with
my feet. you can turn the tranny, as well as gently align things with you
hands, and apply pressure with your feet so it goes in when it is all lined
up.
