tranny going in from the bottom. - Honda Prelude Forum

Okay, I'm putting my tranny back into the car. I can get it up there and in just fine without the tranny mount on there. But, if it's on I can't get it in. (I'm going in from the bottom) Anyone have any suggestions for getting it in with the mount on, or getting the mount on once the tranny is in?

i took my mount off once you put it up there it kinda wedges in (hard to explain) find the side that wants to fall the most and put a floor jack near that side then (easier with a friend who can hold it in place) bolt the mount in and then pull it up into the mount on the chassis and bolt it in.. a good place to grab the tranny from above is the starter hole...

this is really hard to explain and it is a pita

the first time i did it i pretty much bench pressed the tranny while my friend hooked it up

Take the mount off.

Thanks guys, I got it down, just like you said basically bench pressed it up there while my dad got the mount in, and my buddys bolted her on. Thanks for the help!
