So good man. I was waiting for Rachel to let the hoist down too quick and knock the rest of your teeth out. Fortunately (unfortunately for us) the amazing array of jacks somehow worked and prevented the Orion from embedding itself into your forehead. Super excited to see this thing in action! Great effort mate!
Huge inspirational video. I'm not the only one, so I thought. I thank God for my wife for putting up sometimes with all the B.S. when it comes to fixing my Cruiser. Thanks to Project Run Way, for showing that ordinary guys like me can do it.😊
Having done this myself, by myself, I recognize every element of what you are doing. Longer alignment pin helped me. Putting it in neutral helped me when I got so close.
What's putting it in neutral do to help; once it's close the input shaft spline is already engaged in the friction disc? Once it's close, it just has to seat into the pilot. I push clutch in at that point to let the friction disc float and allow the taper on the end of the input shaft to seat into the pilot bearing. Alignment tool gets it close enough for the spline to match the disc but can still be a pain to get that last 25mm/inch into the pilot bearing
@@scod3908 fair point, not really sure I know why, it just seems to get to a point, and then it slides right in. Perhaps putting it in neutral made no difference, it’s just what I did.
Trust me, I love Ben it's just that his look of defeat at certain times reminds me so much of myself. I'm so happy when he ends up successful. @@ryanjames9440
I'm in week number 3 messing with an NV4500/Orion behind a small block and it's so tight I have to pull the fittings out of the vacuum FD unit to avoid the frame. The frame mounts for the orion input shaft cover/crossmember are situated perfectly to create an unsolvable 3d puzzle from hell. I've installed it at least once before, but I'm repeating all the same crap this time, and maybe more. I should probably take notes. I"m thinking it might be easier to mount the tail housing and T-case together instead of trying to mount the transfer case to the tail housing with the tail housing attached to the transmission.. Is this the obvious correct answer that I can't seem to find written down anywhere on the internet? Or is this a stupid idea that I should avoid doing? Any opinions? There is no possible way to install the transmission to the engine with the t-case installed due to many obstructions like frame mount pads for the c-member.
Also for those who have not experienced the heat of NorCal in what appears to be the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas… it’s fucking beautiful but hell at the same time. Satans Butthole adjacent is the descriptor that best fits here.
Dont stop this style of video, its timeless

Was this video meant to be funny because I was laughing nice work guys...
It was, for the most part. We typically do shoot for funny, but some times it’s just stressful.
Never fun or easy installing Transmissions, good work mate
It wasn’t as bad as it could be.
Just watching you Stress’s me 😂
I hear that a lot.
Good job 👍 Miss watching your Utub episodes you and Rachel bring a little bit of humour to your video's making your videos fun to watch ❤️👍😁
Trying to get more content. Summers here, so it’s miserable.
Kudos to you and your wife, nice job!!
She’s the real hero, she must have raised and lowered that combo 69 times.
"I haven't done any research on how those work. I just stuck it in there." 😂🤣
Sums up a majority of my life choices.
Good job! I can't wait to get home from deployment and start working on my new to me 40 again.
Hoping to motivate!
Fantastic job, you got the job dune with the tools you had. 👍👏👏👏🤩
Exactly, just trying to show my “work”. It’s not always easy peasy.
I have so much empathy. Specifically seeing you do the job with an engine hoist.
Yeah, apparently there’s better tools out there

@@davidgibson5756 did you push the clutch instinctively when shifting to neutral? That would do it!
All good advice. Anything can help, placebo effect is real with these things.
DAMMIT! I was really hoping you’d make that look easier. I been trying to convince myself I can lift it by myself with just a floor jack.
It was a piece of cake.
The "FURY" on the engine hoist made me laugh.
Best hoist I ever had.
@@projectwrongway9127 I see what you did there haha.
You kill me man. I don't know why your struggles are so funny. You ended up so sweaty. Lol!
I thought I was the only one lol

Laying your head down on the cement and looking up at the mess you made is a position I find myself in a lot.
I always use my electric rachet to pull them together. Georg made it hard on you
Yeah, but that’s You. And you have a magic touch.
Are you ready to run the Rubicon yet? Hoping you'll be at the Rubithon!
This is the final step, assembly and drive…
That was a good one!
Felt like “classic” project wrong way.
Nice work 👍
Thank you man.
On this episode of making shit way harder than it actually is.
That’s accurate.

I don't have a transmission jack, or one of my front teeth. Who'd notice?
😆 You make do, with what you have.
I think he went with an^s as he was using the bi-son strap on that trans, he's very progressive
Congrats on the successful mating!
Exactly.
The problem was you didn’t spit on the shaft before inserting.
Also, screaming “NOT FORCING IT” will be my new verification of consent.
Thank you.

Thank you for validating my sweat issues man, people don’t get it… life sucking heat. And yes, should have given that shaft the “Hawk Tua”!
@@projectwrongway9127 #blessed
Everything is tranzfer these days haha wink
Story time.... What happened with your tooth?
Looks like he was on the receiving end of a Glasgow Kiss while across the pond
It cracked, it was a fake tooth anyway… Tri tip salad did it. Pretty lame story.
That’s a better story.
