For the heck of it, I tried to replace the transmission with the bell housing attached. Way to heavy and bulky. I'd like to meet the person that can lift an M41,bell housing and OD as a unit to the motor.
I ended using hex bolts to attach the tranny to bell housing over the years. On my 142 I like em better.
I used to hoist the M41 unit into the bell housing by hand. Testosterone levels drop after 30 years. Now I rig a rope to the tranny through the shifter hole and have my wife pull up while I stab the throw out bearing.
