That movement in other than the fore and aft direction that the trans
mount adapter needs to be capable of will be of great assistance here.

This video, at time 92 seconds, says what you say, which is that the
"crankshaft and topshaft" must be aligned "along the same axis".

They show that procedure of aligning the two shafts at time 409 seconds:

. Tip the front down an twist the front of the transmission to the driver side
. Lower the transmission (most seem to do it by hand even when they have a jack???)

Depends on how strong/old you are.

This video, at time 62 seconds, shows a guy wrestling a Toyota transmission
up but then using a regular floor jack to hold it there (but he has to
adjust it a lot).

Yup. Been there, done that, but without the dog... There seems to be
audio so that guy is very self controlled. Generally you last there
screaming "F**k! F**k!" like some New Age mantra. Then when your well
meaning, nice old lady neighbor wanders over to ask if you're all right
you sort of have to come up with a polite reassurance through gritted
teeth hoping she'll go back to her soap opera.

It's really fun when the transmission is heavy enough to challenge your
bench press capabilities and you realize you've got one more rep left
before it's going to come down on you.
