Default Re: Which is easier

Also, upon reassembly, I have a little block of wood that I wedge between the top of the torque tube and the floor-pan - to push it down into the approximately correct position. It tends to want to rotate/pop up when the transmission is pulled - so the block keeps it pushed down to help me align the u-joint and the driveshaft as I'm sliding the engine/trans back into place.

Also, having a floor-jack with wheels to lift the transmission to the correct angle as you reassemble is a must. The wheels can roll with it as you're pushing the transmission/u-joint into the proper location.
