Your little tips and tricks?
I missed out
first one that came to mind:
When getting the top tranny bellhousing bolts back in. Use a LONG extension from the tailshaft area. Fold a small piece of paper in with the bolt into the socket to keep it there, then move it into the hole and thread in. The paper keeps the bolt in the socket enough to keep it from falling off and comes off easy when pulled. If you use a swivel socket to get a better angle, you can tape it so that the bolt is held out still in case your swivel is so loose that it flops down all flaccid like.

Things for me that also make life easier are swivels and the wrenches where the closed end can bend and they have the ratchety circle in them.
