I'm super glad my first transmission is aluminum, where it needed onlytwo
feet of height to clear the frame rails:

Where it was a Godsend to have this clutch disk alignment tool:

For some reason, the fork kept knocking the throwout bearing off the
spindle so I had to tie it down with tire tube ties:

The best thing I did was machine those two 3-inch long dowel pins!

But I wish I had done the rear transmission seal like you suggested:

And the rear engine oil seal (but Toyota didn't have it in stock):

Next time I'll do them!
