Subject:      Need help, I can't get transmission back into vanagon.

Hello,
Well my torque convertor went bad, and I replaced it, but I couldn't
seem to get the transmission back in on monday.  It would probably be
easier if I was a pro and had a lift, and stuff, but alas I only have an
assortmant of jacks, and stands.  My setup is I have the vanagon up on
jack stands on the back, a jack under the engine to hold it up, and I
have a jack under the transmission in order to lift it up under the
car.  The problem is those bolts sticking out of the belhousing on the
engine get in the way of me lifting the tranny up if I have it close to
the engine, and I can't make room for the bolts because then the nose of
the tranny hits.  Has anyone done this job before, and if you can
understand what I am telling you, could you give me some pointers?

Thanks,
Brian Wagener
