So what's the best way to support trans while rebuilding? build a bench jig?



I used a piece of particle board, with a hole in it, overtop of a trashcan.

You really only need it verticle for when you load the tailshaft and overrunning clutch. After that, I made a fixture, out of 2X4's, to flip the trans on its back and load the planetaries and clutches. There's 2 ears on each side of the trans, towards the rear, that make a good place for a "stand".

A factory service manual is actually very good to start with. The book by Munroe will answer any and all questions thereafter.
