After getting the top bolts in fingertight I slipped the bottom bolts in. Remember they go in backwards though. I went ahead and tightened them up good.

Only then was I OK with lowering the jack. Safety first!

Now for that stinkin linkage. I put the first one on and it wouldn't fit. I scraped a little of the paint away and put it on a little. it goes on with the threaded spot pointing down. Then I banged it with a wrench to get it back on.

I ran the bolt through and held it with vise grips while I used the impact on the other side.

The back one stuck out far enough I could whack it with a hammer to get it back on and bolted up.

Then the drain plug goes back in. I might need some touchup after all the up-and-downs on the jack.

Tying it back up, the driveshaft goes next. I held it high and to the driver's side so I could get it pushed into the gasket on the end of the transmission.

Don't fear the dirt. I'll give her a proper washup after winter. I was in a rush today because I need to get Cecilia out of my garage this weekend.
Funny thing, I wound up with four little bolts that I have no idea where they go. Um...
And as I typed that it dawned on me that they go in the flywheel cover plate that I forgot about.
