I love benchpessing transmissions. Twenty minutes with an ~80 pound RX trans works wonders. :chuckles:
I have to agree though, lining up the input shaft can take a while, and there really isn't anything you can do about it. I've been lucky an had them slip in in under a minute, others I swear I was laying on my back holding the damn thing up and jiggling it for a half an hour.
Word of warning: DO NOT let the trans rest on the input shaft.
