Went to install my engine and tranny last night but it didn't work out so well. :bricks1: Couldn't get it tilted enought to get in so back at it again tonight :pullinghair:! One question, should tranny fluid be coming out the tail end as I tilt it???  :clueless:

The rear trans seal only works when the driveshaft is installed.  Fluid will run out the tailshaft of you don't use a plug.

By the way...this is the easiest way to install an engine/trans in a Mopar.

If you don't have a tailshaft plug, you can use a baggie over the end with a tight rubber band holding it on.     :2thumbs:
