Default Intalling TC

Damn dowel pins were stuck like chuck.
I liked to never got that tranny out.
After wiggling and cussing I was finally
able to get a flat blade in between the block
and bellhousing and get it out. Now I can't get the
damn TC to seat properly.
Crap, guess I'll try again tonight. Except for getting
the tranny off the block this has been straight forward.
Can't wait to try the new stall.

[What if the car falls] No kiddin. I thought the same thing
I was gettin pissed off. One of the dowels came out IN the tranny.
Now, maybe after a long hard day at work, I can come home and
the TC will rotate right into place. Shoulda figured doin something
the first time always gives ya headaches.
Later
