If you don't have a tranny jack,call one of your buddies over.The transmisson will have to be pretty much level to get it to go into the clutch and then the crank.If it doesn't exactly want to slide in,put the trans in 1st gear and have your buddy turn the engine crank from the front.That should line it up so it would go in.Is it an M5OD?

I like to use a couple of bolts with the heads cut off to get a tranny started straight.

That would help.I think that I'll try that when I pull my tranny to put in a new rear main seal .
