Good luck!

I put a transmission up the other day with the locating studs trick on the engine block and it was so easy. A million times easier than my first attempt without knowing that trick. Somehow the local Lowe's had a bunch of 12x1.75 mm bolts in stock, cut the heads off and slotted them for a screwdriver. I had the bolts started in like 5 minutes, no struggle. The first time it was like four rounds with Mike Tyson.
