Scott nailed it, I use the same tool as him

I use to struggle with the awd tranny as well, the damn subframe was always in the way. Then figured out that the motor like to roll & lean back with all the mounts off & the front jacked up. Found a block, wedged it in & with two people have installed a number of trannies since, literally 2 min job from jacking it up to bolting it on, ever since.
