day one.
Looking up through the floor with the rear output shaft removed.

place on the T-case where the front drive shaft used to be attached.

wider shot showing the transmission attached to the engine

front drive shaft (yes there is lots of room under this thing to work)

top of the transmission with the floor access panel removed

other access panel removed

table jack that will eventually hold the transmission

First mistake. Trying to take the adaptor plate with the transmission. Ended up removing the plate and keeping it on the bell housing.

Poof.. transmission out

I did a couple other things like transfer the clutch linkage from the old transmission to the new one and filled the new one with fresh oil.
And that ends the excitement for day one. Will have to wait till Thursday for the swap. I have a photoshoot tomorrow and after that going to see Grumpy Cat at the internet film festival at the MN state fair.
