Thanks for the additional tips. The replacement transaxle is coming here in the next hour or so. Owner says it was a "no expense spared" rebuild a number of years ago but never installed because the other one was working fine until yesterday, although leaking. I may pull the cover off the old one as you suggested to see what it all looks like inside. I am fairly confident the replacement trans will function. I will need to remove the pan to attach the cables as you suggested anyway. Still leaning toward trying to remove the torsion shaft at the flywheel as you originally suggested. That would allow the shaft to float around some and make installation into the transaxle much easier I imagine. Appreciate the detailed information. I have other modern car work scheduled through Monday so I will probably not get back to this until the middle of next week. I will let you know how it goes.
