roh1332, the trick to getting the assembly back on the car; 1) Spin it over and load up the spring. Tie the arm to the "harp". I use a wire-tie. Don't get carried away, you will bend it. You just want to hold it (unless you have three hands). 2) Slip the unit up under the cowling with the floor panel removed. 3) From here you can hold the assembly with one hand, and start the bolts holding it to the bellhousing (2 bolts). 4) Snug down the bolts. 5) you can now cut the tie-wrap with sidecuts, or wait till the floor is in. Remember, it is goin to come up (spring up) because of the load, with nothing attached to it at this point. 6) you can put the floor in now, and then connect the rod on the engine side of the firewall.
