quick trans install question

[onefstsnake]

Im installing a TKO600 and im wondering if I should bolt the bellhousing up to the trans and install both at the same time or bolt the bellhousing up first then the trans...

Seems to me that bolting the bellhousing up first would be easier.

You'll want to install the bellhousing seperate from the transmission. It makes it a lot easier to turn the trans in order to get the input shaft splines lined up with the clutch plate. It also makes it easier to install the clutch fork and throwout bearing.
