Yeah. If I did it again I'd be able to pull the SR out in a couple of hours.

Days 1 and 2 were spent installing VLSD and other prepwork on the donor car. I didn't really touch the clip until day 3.

I'd estimate that I've spent about 50 hours mucking around at this point (includes KA pull)... I'd also estimate that I am almost 3/4 of the way done

is this your 1st attempt at an SR swap?

Every single SR swap I've done... the trans mount never wants to line up! It's always 1/4-1/2" back from the mounting holes. I usually get a pry-bar under the car, and pry on the bracket.. wedging the bar in the tranny tunnel and doing one side at a time.. this keeps you from having to worry about messing up the threads in the hole by using a screw driver. I don't know why the tranny mount won't line up.. I've never tried to use the JDM SR mounts.. maybe that's it.
