It’s called baiting bb. You either bait or be baited :P

So sorry to jump in on this one. Is there anyone around the 404/401 area that is a strong recommendation?

Use the bolts to help pull the transmission to the motor, but it will only pop into position when the spines are perfectly aligned, so a transmission jack and twisting the driveshaft while in gear really helps.

I purchased a tranny jack adapter for my floor jack from Princess Auto.
Unfortunately with my car on four jack stands the unit would lower the tranny but not enough to clear the cars bellypan. The car should have been a couple inches higher. We ended up lowering the jack and muscling the tranny off the jack onto the ground and dragging it out out from under the car. To re-install we just put the tranny on a mat and dragged it back under the car where two of us lifted it into position with some massive rocking effort to get it up against the bell housing.

I typically just lay the transmission on my stomach with cardboard as protection and bench it into position. Taking it out is the same process of lowering it to my chest and sliding it to the floor between my legs. Luckily the transmission is light.

Similar to how I did mine. I balanced it on a regular floor jack, held on to it and raised it up a bit. Then lifted it into position.

I don't even use cardboard. Just bench press it.

Thought you would just stay outside the car, reach under and push it up.

Takes more time to align the shaft.

XXL 52” 66 year old chest. I can barely fit under there myself without a dolly, let alone with a tranny on top of me.
You must be slender youthful types.
Actually my Buddy and I co-benched it up off the ground. We’re getting to old for this fun.

i dunno, a dolly, a tranny and a double-x-l guy in a garage...
