Tips:
1) My friends made fun of me for this, but LABEL THE TRANNY HOUSING BOLTS...........i "drew" on a piece of paper the outline of the housing and where each bolt came from.
2) Loosen motor mounts
3) Yes you can jack from the diff housing, but use as many jackstands as you possibly can as backup, everywhere.
4) Lift all 4 corners, but be careful not to let the car roll off the hydraulic jack or jackstands....not always trivially easy.
5) Make sure you have the right thickness TOB.
6) You really need at least 2 people to help you wiggle it in....one person on the back of the tranny, one near the front.
7) Make sure the pivot fork is properly secured with the pin......I suggest carefully looking at it to see how it's in there before you take it back out. The most annoying thing that can happen is to put it all back together and find that the fork is not properly pushing on the TOB.
8) Of course, test out the clutch and watch the action of the fork before you start the car and lower it again
9) Be careful lowering the car.
10) Don't forget to tighten the motor mounts!
11) Spend the $3 to buy the plastic spline alignment tool, it saves you from a huge headache.
12) Apply grease to the contact surface between the fork and TOB, inside of TOB (which slides along input shaft), and surface of TOB that hits the pressure plate......and also on the splines of the input shaft itself, if it looks dry.
