There are a couple things I would note for anyone who takes on doing their own work on their transmission and that I don't think are really talked about on this thread (or maybe I missed it or it could also be elsewhere on the forum). Anyway...
1) I didn't realize until after the second time putting on the transmission was how important it is to understand and match up the angles at which the axis of the engine flywheel is at relative to the input shaft of the transmission. The first time I installed the transmission, I had it jacked up waaay too high, which together with the second item explains why it took me and my helper more than two hours just to get input shaft in the ring gear of the clutch disk. I did not appreciate that the input shaft on the transmission really needs to be pointing up at least a few degrees from horizontal, which is much more than I expected.
2) I also didn't realize until toward the end of the first install the importance of having my helper rotate the crankshaft pulley at the same time while I was underneath and pushing the transmission in. I appreciated that the input shaft and the clutch disk ring gear are a tight fit, but had assumed that at some point it would just slip into place even if it was just slightly off.
Understanding these two points the second time around literally resulted in it taking
maybe 30 seconds to get the input shaft into the clutch disk, and without much force applied at all. I could not believe how much easier it was. So point being that there's a little more to think about than simply putting everything back together the way you took it apart.
