I pulled the M46 manual transmission from my '82 244 Turbo and cannot get it installed again.
Unfortunately I don't have the car on a lift: it's on jack stands.
I can lift the tranny with a floor jack but it sometimes falls off (thud) and when I get it up in the air and closer to where it mates with the engine I cannot get clearance as the body blocks it near the starter.
I'm guessing I'll need to spin it a bit, but cannot figure out how to do it with my jackstand and no strong helpers.
It's just me, a one man band, thoroughly frustrated.
Any tricks to getting it to fit?
Any PDX T-brickers have a low clearance tranny jack that might work that I could borrow?
