A buddy of mine suggested using long studs instead when I did
my TR-4. They help you locate the tranny long before you can
ordinarily do so. When you've got it mated, you double-nut
them and pull them out, replacing with bolts. Worked like a
champ, out and in in about 4 hours, including cleanup. Now
if I could just figure out a trick for that dang starter
before I swap the O/D tranny back in so I can keep the skin
on my hands this time....
