Carefully move the transmission forward until the dowel pins engage with the holes in the bell housing. Install the transmission housing-to-engine bolts and tighten them securely. Install the drive plate-to-torque converter bolts and tighten them to the specified torque. Install the crossmember and remove the jacks supporting the transmission and engine. Install the dipstick tube, starter motor, and reconnect the shift linkage or cable. Plug in the transmission wire harness connectors and install the torque converter cover. If applicable, install the transfer case and driveshaft(s). Install any exhaust system components that were removed and lower the vehicle. Finally, fill the transmission with the specified fluid, run the engine, and check for fluid leaks.

After removing the shift lever, you need to raise the vehicle and proceed to remove the driveshaft(s), parking brake cable, and any necessary exhaust components.
