Assembly on the transmission jack and ready to go back into the Jeep. I padded the jack with moving blankets and used a ratchet strap to hold the assembly onto the jack. The transmission jack (This on is a Harbor Freight unit) makes this job soooo easy. All 4 wheels are full caster allowing freedom of movement, the jack handle pivots 360 deg allowing easy adjustment of height and the head is adjustable for angle on both front to back and side to side directions.
With my wife pushing forward on the jack from underneath I wiggled the transmission back and forth and it slid right into place. I popped a hole in the tape on top of the transmission so I could rotate the input shaft and make sure it was engaged in the clutch splines to get the assembly sliding forward.

And its in.
It looks like the vent line is suppose to tie into the bell housing where the plug is installed just forward of the clutch boot. I'll have to modify this.

I'm using Aviation Permatex on the shift tower gasket instead of grease. This will fill the little imperfections in the mating surface and hopefully prevent leaks.
