    Manual gearbox ain't that heavy, not that I could one hand it.
    I wonder what his R&R time was.
    Try that with an automatic

    If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

    My Son pulls and installs Evo AWD trans without a trans jack. Oh to be young.

    I don't think so, it went in too easy. I think he was using dowels on the block to align it. This isn't that guy's first rodeo.

    T56/tr6060 are pretty heavy for 2 dowels. The strength is impressive, but I would still use a jack. I'm sure it's ok, but I would do it differently. Plus, I'm not that strong.
