Ford Mustang Drivetrain Install Hoisting The Tranny Into Place

<STRONG>5</STRONG> The Mustang Monthly tech shop recently purchased a transmission jack, making our C4 installation a one-man job that took about 25 minutes. But even on a cold garage floor with a floor jack, it isn't the worst job in the world. Line up the flexplate mounting holes and torque-converter studs before slipping the C4 onto the engine's dowel pins. Have your crossmember and mounting bolts ready, and the transmission will be secured in no time; then you can install and adjust the shift linkage.
