Tranny Re and Re

[Sour Grapes]

i bought my 93 3.0L ranger ext cab 2WD for $500 knowing that it needed at least a clutch. My step-dad ripped out the tranny and we found that the tranny should be replaced. I picked one up for $300 including all the hydraulics (clutch has less than 20,000km on it; tranny has less than 150,000 km on it), and am going to put it in this weekend. Any tricks or tips to ease the installation and bleeding, etc regarding this little project? Thanks in advance!!

the easy way to replace trans is to buy or make guide bolts that are the same thread and pitch as your tranny bolts about 4 will do but make them long the tranny will just slip in and the angle will be about right.

I used tie straps to cradle the trans once I got it close with a jack. Then you can muscle the trans to any angle you need
