Well today was my second try at getting the 5 speed in and split case in my troopie. This is what I had to work with.... a engine hoist missing the front extension so I put 2 metal bars in the hole and stuck a rachet extension thu all the holes to hold the tranny and case,2 tow straps,3 bricks, 1 crow bar,and the super human strength or Romal,the Teg clothing salesman,and his 2 children to watch my dog so we would not have to worry about them,they feed my dog girl scout cookies,he shat all over the rug later on . Man let me tell you this installation was not easy took about an hour of moving the hoist and the bricks and wood. I was just about to give up when the super human TEQ saleman drove it home from beneath the cruiser and it slid in,meanwhile I was in the truck trying to hold the tow ropes and get at least 2 bolts in. It was comical and I felt like I was truly a welfare recipient,with the only tools being what I could find around the yard(which was exactly what I did). Now I feel I can install any tranny with these welfare tools. I tried to do it the day before with another friend but he had to go and we could not spend much time on it.
We went to the local tool rental place and we could of rented a truck tranny jack that bent all kinds of ways and angles,actually it looked like a pretty cool sexual device if you could get a women to get on it,you could move her all around and you wouldnt have to worry to much if she was overweight. It cost $60 plus tax so that night I was pissed that I was beaten by this installation,and I was reduced to renting a tranny jack, so I couldn't sleep cause I was thinking about ways to get the job done without having to spend any money,cause the welfare check won't be in until the first of the month. So like I said the next day it was a success,and I didn't have to spend a dime,
Thanks for listening .

Here in Australia I wind up doing everything by myself because I can't find anyone who knows which end of a wrench to hold.
