The use of grease and the clutch allignment tool will pop the busing out, you can fill the hole first with pretty much anything from nuts to a rag to reduce how much grease it will take.

How long to drop and replace a tranny? I am 61, fat, out of shape, ate up with arthritits, can't see and very slow. I pulled my 66 4 speed working a few hours per day, late in the pm when it cooled down........ 5 hours. Put it back in the same..... 5 hrs over a few day period..... by myself with air tools, a floor jack and a hydaulic jack for the engine.... the engine is going to drop down when you remove the tranny support so when going back in, you need to jack up the engine to be level with the tranny. Other than that, it is a simple labourous greasy, nasty but satisfying stressful job.
If you were a neighbor I would certainly help you change a trans. I still have a bit of body to work with. Brains I'm not so sure.

Well, can't wait for input should you need to lift the tranny, before doing so, got the impression the fork was loose (comment #7) in the housing and wonder if the retracter spring came out of the retainer; if so, suggest check and verify the clutch arm retracter spring is still attached to the fork ;items listed in Bill's comments "Clutch fork retracting spring (7523)"; it is possible to re-attach by moving the boot back and install the fork onto the throw-out bearing and push the fork as close to the shaft as possible, then move the fork back and try to maneuver the retracting spring on the retainer.?
