Now with the new tranny on the lift raise it up to near position and then release the locking strap for installing and tighten when removing.
Please note the lifting crank is facing the front of the car. I also used two strips of drywall as the balance points and to raise the back of the transmission.
Now I started out with it facing to the back, but found that I could not cleanly support the transmission against the torque tube.Screaming at my camera because I can't get the pictures out. This also allows me to use the tilt angle on the lift plate to get a better scope and contact points under it. You will need to decide your best angle of attack.

Two shots with different lighting.Screaming at my camera because I can't get the pictures out.
Three important notes in these photos:
1) There are these little loops for hanging your brake calipers on (I also used two sheets of drywall to full the gap between the pads during their stay while hung.
2) Loosen the shocks to allow them to swing down for easy movement under the car.
3) my love of drywall as an oil absorber and gliding surface. I placed each of the rotors on a 12" square board for sliding.

The coolest picture of me bench pressing from a reverse lift of the sub frame with my face bursting red and screaming would have been priceless; however, this was followed by carefully pulling a jack stand to where my right hand was with twine and teeth. I don't suggest this, but I was not going to let this get the best of me alone. So this is Tuesday morning when I can type again as the pain in my shoulders/arms/chest have stopped now 
More photos to come on the bolt up and unbolt process.

Epic description of the jackstand move. I got lucky, a friend happened to stop by at the same time I was putting mine together.
Great idea on the drywall. Easily formed and easily disposed of.

It's not that hard. With the TT you have the extra work of R&R the exhaust & heat shields, and the starter/clutch cover. Once you get the clutch exposed you'll see the four bolts that hold the TT to the bell housing. The bottom two are easy, but none of my tools would get to the upper two bolts. I remember that Sean had memtioned that he left the clutch in, so I called him. Here's what he told me to get at Northen Tool. $15.95 universal/socket set http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...5076_200415076. They're not SnapOn, but they did the trick.

Pieces were looking good, thanks for providing the 'patient' for Greg's tea leaf reading session.
