RE: [DMCForum] mating engine and transmission

Both are completely out of the car?  If you have a work table nearby, it can
support the weight, and you can move your engine hoist, put the transmission
on the table and move the engine closer.

If that's not an option, set the transmission on the floor and lower the
engine down to meet with it.

Does anyone have a good "system" for doing this whilst both are out of
the car?  Right now I have the engine hanging on a hoist about waist
high, and I've been trying to just lift the tranny up and put it on.
Having a hell of a time, but somehow I did it like this before and it
worked (somehow, but I was working out more then).

Can't seem to get it to slide in all the way.  I get it to the point
where it slides in partially, and then is tough to pull back out, but
I know I should get it pushed alllll the way in or else I'll break
something.

thanks,

Matt
