DIY Flywheel housing gasket/clutch/RMS

[Rawze]

I would recommend an actual tranny jack.. and strapping it down well. A truck tranny suddenly shifting can put you in the hospital real fast, if not kill you if it rolls off the jack and onto any part of you.

Also... it is 4x more difficult not to damage the pilot bearing, or clutch, when re-installing it, if it is not exactly at the correct angle when sliding it it back in place. -- Hence a proper tranny jack has adjustment knobs to get that tranny at just the right angle, alignment, height, etc.

personally,. if I absolutely had to replace my tranny myself, I would most likely build a stand for, and remove the cab of the truck. Use an overhead crane, as I have no shop floor, and can't stand working upside down with really heavy components like that any ways. .. just a thought.
