Some of the fellas I've known who overhauled manual trannies have told me that jigs are necessary. The jigs they used, they made from scavenged parts from other trannies. Haven't done this myself, just read about it, but supposedly with reasonable mechanical skills and a good set of tools you can do an auto tranny in your home garage.
