Pulled my NV5600 last night to finally install my Southbend and fix my leak. For those that have done this what is the best way to reinstall the trans? Seems like it is going to be a pain to line up unless the engine is pointing down in the rear. Do you jack the front of the engine up? Also, I split the trans and transfer case after I had them on the ground because I thought my output shaft seal was leaking. It looks as though the seal isn't leaking but I have a good amount of oil at the rear of the trans. I say it doesn't look like it's leaking because the aluminum flange that goes into the trans is not oil soaked. Any ideas?? Eric

 

Yes, I jack up the front of the motor to make the back go down.

 

Yep, jack up the front of the motor, also change the seals. They are really simple to do.

The NV5600 is really heavy. Hopefully it slides in on the first try.

I don't recommend a floor jack with a chain around the whole deal. But it was all I had.
