tranny install problems??

[indiana_red@hotmail.com (Ken B)]

Just want to make sure you mean that it lifts ALL the way up...easy.  My
experiance (tho' limited) is that the lever will lift easily untill it is
about "horizontal, then it gets so hard that I cant move it any more w/o
some mechanical assistance.
