The auto came right out, definitely easier to do with a couple of people.

The flexplate bolts were on pretty tight, it was fun getting those off.

You'll need to purchase a new pilot bearing to tap into the end of the crankshaft. Use a socket that's the same diameter of the outer race and tap it in slowly and evenly.

You should install a new throwout bearing too, very easy to do.

Installing the flywheel, clutch disk, and pressure plate was easy, I used medium, blue loctite on all of the bolts. Make sure to use a clutch alignment tool.

The actual install of the tranny wasn't bad. We got it to slide on easy except for about a half inch off the block. Seems that the very end of the input shaft had a hard time seating into the pilot bearing. We started to thread it in with a bolt, then it it just popped the rest of the way in.

We spent all day yesterday on it, but we took our time along with an hour long lunch break.

BTW Fred, I'm eating the other half of your sandwich today <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />.

One other thing, I have all of the necessary parts except for a W-56 TRANNY MOUNT. If anyone on this board has one please get in touch with me!
