                Yeah, and that's howcome when I did it I jacked the car up and I threw the jack under the tranny to lift it up and into place. Was easy... Didn't have to spend any money and quick to do.

                              Nope. If it was that simple. you would see soooo many people doing it. thats why we go with the full engine.
