hehehe...we weren't there. I'm sure some cursing went on.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Gordon swears like a drunken sailor!
just kidding, you won't find a better man to get the job done than Gordon, but I think I got him beat when it comes to a clean garage

There was no cursing or anything. I was pretty even tempered about this. I can't say I have never lost my temper but not on this one. Yes the lift sure does make it easier. I also have a trans jack which saves time also.
As for the clean garage yes Jay has me beat on that but where does he come for his work on his car, to my garage.

I must say I commend you. That tranny is twice the weight of a t-10, plus putting it in that tight spot?! I won't be putting it in but that hydraulic clutch attachment to the tranny is slick. How much does that run?

I'm assuming you are talking about the rear halfshafts? Yes I set mine level when the car is at rest so cruising down the road they should be level. 
Yes it is a little pricey but David wanted this setup over the mechanical linkage. I'll be curious to drive the hydraulic vs the mechanical linkage.

Gordon, in some parts of the World it is considered a compliment to spill fluid on your buddy's garage floor. Here we just call it marking our territory. Just kidding of course. Mine isn't as clean as Gordons is by a long shot. On the lift front here are my two cents. If you are storing a car, go with the four legged design. If you are using it for work but not storage then go for the type Gordon has, two column with supports. His works much better than mine does for this kind of work, although he has spent quite a bit of time under my four poster as well. For access under the car, you just can't beat the lift.
Thanks again Gordon.
PS: Box on it's way with those parts.

Wow you can see my driveshaft in that picture. I'm assuming you are talking about the rear halfshafts? Yes I set mine level when the car is at rest so cruising down the road they should be level.
Yes it is a little pricey but David wanted this setup over the mechanical linkage. I'll be curious to drive the hydraulic vs the mechanical linkage.

More will be written on this in the months ahead...
Thanks again Gordon.
