Can't install tranny, Done !! Options

[Remy]

Hey guys this weekend I've been trying to put in my new clutch got everything unbolted got the new flywheel resurfaced and got the new clutch and pressure plate bolted on but I can't get the tranny back in. I tried bench pressing it in but because of how the angles are I can't get it to align with the spindle any tips into getting that thing back in ?? I think I'm doing good so far first time installing a clutch and how much does the s54 weight I heard 95lbs but I think its more.

bench pressing it into place isnt that easy, its not the weight of it that makes it hard, its the angles you have to put it into to get it in, and how bulky it is. you kinda have to angle the tranny into the bay, then use your knee to support the weight at the end, and use your arms to wiggle it back and forth to set the input shaft.
you also need to have bolts handy, to get a couple bolts started while your down there.
its definetly not for everyone.
