Just finished my fifth installation of my transmission in the past 2 weeks. I doing this alone so hope to heck I have the clutch throw accurate this time. Needless to say I have got the in and out pretty well down. But, the final step (for me) of connecting the shift rod at the firewall is a bi#ch. I have tried bracing the shift lever in the cockpit to hold in place. No good. I have held the rod with vicegrips at the firewall. Not much better. Any ideas? All of this is at jack stand level. I don't have a lift.

I use some needle nose vice grips. The thin jaws give you room enough to work.
