Icon7 WE GOT THE TRANSMISSION IN!

Alright everyone i am so excited literally a week wasted trying to get this thing in my uncle comes out and finds the issue within 30min tops hes been working on vehicles since he was about 8 years old but he doesnt work much on the vehicles we have now because his Rheumatoid arthritis has gotten really bad. we went out there tried everything then he said take out the tranny we look at it and the damn Hydraulic throwout bearing/slave cylinder had to much tension so we put the tranny back up inside and took a prybar and put it through one of the wholes in the tranny and pulled it back and literally all i heard was the bitch slide right in and I got so hyped up this whole time me screwin around with it and he comes out and figures out why in no time. I mean understandable because this is my first time doing a tranny and he has done hundreds in his life on everytype of car really. Now i just got to get all the bolts figured out because we have it seated but it seems that two of the bolts are longer than the others and honestly i dont remeber where they go but im assuming the longest bolts go at the very top of the tranny but I called it a day because we got the baby seated right again the engine now. Take your wins and take a break I got a long week ahead got to get everything back together then see if this baby runs im hoping that the gas thats in it isnt going to cause an issue its been a full take since 2019 but ill get there when i get there take it day by day. To the person who posted in my last post about taking a break and coming back to I appriciate it I mean we all know to take a break but I was so focused on getting it in i forgot to step back and take a break. im hoping a brand new exhaust aint expensive because I cut that whole thing up lol Thanks everyone who gave me ideas on getting it back in.
