So, an update on my car, which I was dumb and accidentally threaded in the topmost center bell housing bolt and forgot... I also got extremely lazy and left the car for a few weeks on jack stands now....
I finally have everything ready to put back together. I originally used a motorcycle jack to remove the trans, which proved to be too short, so I stacked some wooden 2x4's on top and made a small platform.
I didn't have anything to support the front of the transmission/bell housing at the time, so it was kind of tricky to play with the motorcycle jack on the rear of the trans, to get the trans out and down. I eventually had to lower it and had a friend completely hold the end on the rear, while I proceeded to take out the motorcycle jack and place it onto a wooden dolly.
Ended up having to turn the trans on it's side to get it out originally, since we didn't left the car much higher, since we were kinda scared with the height it was already at... Now, the trans is finally back in under the car, and I'm attempting to reinstall it in the same way, with the addition of my floor jack up front, on the flat bottom of the bell housing, where the bottom vents are. Hopefully, I can get the trans to get to the right angle and mate to the engine
