    Just spent 2 hours swearing trying to put the fork in thru the inspection hole in the bell housing. Is there an easier way?

    Is it in the bell housing or not? If it fell into the bell housing, it can be fished through. Been there, done that. If its out of the jeep, you might have to go through the inspection hole.

    Just wondering how to install it. I had the transmission out and put it back in without the fork. I put the fork back in thru the inspection hole and it was a pain.

    It is tricky, but it can be done as long as you don't have hands the size of hams like I do. When I have had to do it this way I had to get a skinny friend of mine who has small hands to do it.

    Helps to tie a couple pieces of light twine to the fork which is light enough you can give it a yank and break it off once the fork is in place. Also helps to insert a long screwdriver in through the hole for the cable so you will have a way to push the fork onto the throwout bearing.
