Stall Install I am installing my stall soon and need to double check on tools/procedures. I know I will need some swivels, and a 24" extension.
Basically, I am thinking....
disconnect driveshaft
disconnect all electrical sensors I can reach
remove dipstick(should I remove from the motor, or just let it slide out of the trans when I drop it?)
disconnect shifter(do I disconnect it from the interior, or under the car?)
remove bellhousing bolts
remove cross member
As far as removal goes...When I remove the trans, should I take the stall out with it, or drop trans and then stall? And should I install the stall on the trans, or the flywheel, then the trans?

Your going to need a really long extension. I had to use every extension I owned all strung together to get the length needed. The last 2 transmission installs I have done all by myself but it really helps if you have someone there to help you out.
Good luck.

I have a tool that spins it but in a pinch you can use a big *** screwdriver. Just be careful with it.
