[Spridgets] Engine removal list suggestions..

[Jim Johnson]

Last two times I've done it by myself.  Disconnect the drive shaft from the
diff. Once the end of the tranny is inside the mouth of the tunnel, reach in
through the shifter hole and put the yoke into the back of the tranny. It
won't come out as you slide the lump in the rest of the way.

Cheers!!
Jim
