oh my god, you're gonna have one HELL of a time putting that together in
your garage/driveway.
well, here's just a little break down of it... if the tranny is out, you
need a clutch alignment tool (cheap and is easier than it sounds.)
it costs about 2-3 bucks from the autoparts store. basically, loosely bolt
up the clutch discs, and backing plate of the clutch to the flywheel.
insert the alignment tool in and when it lines up, tighten the bolts to spec
(no idea)
next.. lift up the tranny towards the bell housing. (i have NO idea who
you're gonna pull that off. hope yours is 4 wheel drive. maybe you can
drive it up on blocks, on top of blocks, on top of blocks. so it'll be
"lifted" in the air?)
anyways. you'll have you push the input shaft of the tranny into the place
where you just had the clutch alignment tool.. (remember to take it out!)
with that in mind, start the bell housing bolts in and tighten when they're
all there (have plenty of extensions and a wobbly bit ready) with that
tightened. put on your tranny crossmember... connect all your lines,
install driveshaft tighten u-joint bolts and whola, it's a day/week/year
later....
Truthfully, I'd take it to a garage if you have no idea what you're doing.
They'll A) have a lift along with tranny jacks to actually lift the tranny
into it's place. and B) what if you screw something up and it burns up the
clutch for real? is it worth the price of buying the parts again and all
that dakota down time?
Now, keep in mind this is a very simple break down of the install, and it
might sound easy, but it will be difficult for you if you don't have the
knowledge, tools, and skills to perform the task.. Tow it to a garage,
man.... 200-300 dollars of installation labor is worth it.
