When I was a kid I use to use either jacks or ropes around the torsion bars to get the tranny in.

At age 45+ its much easier/faster to just roll the 150# tranny on my stomach and manipulate it in with my knees/feet/arms etc. The rear crossmember helps. alot

Screw the jacks, that takes some prior manipulation too. By the time I get it manipulated onto the Jacks, I can have it installed allready. Screw that. mike
