Hi All,

Does anyone have step by step instructions they can share? I understand the only way out is through the cockpit, not dropping it from below.

More importantly, what tools has anyone used? I do all my own work on the car with extensive set of tools but, I am 62 years old with somewhat limited access to helpers, so this maybe a solo job.
I saw someone made a transmission hoist here:

If anyone in the States has access to one, I will gladly pay to have it return shipped. I am in CT. Please PM me.

Otherwise, I have an engine hoist but, I think it needs to be low profile to lift from transmission's center of gravity (which is below the dashboard)
How about Dr. Doolin's tool. He says it is for TR6's? But will it work on a TR4A? Also, I think it only really assists with install, not removal: > Dr-Doolin - TL502 <

Thanks

Bob
