The throwout bearing was wrong as I had thought. The Astro Van TO bearing is plastic and I kind of marred it up a bit so we went and got one for a pickup that is all metal. Got it on and between dad, me, and the tranny jack we were struggling to get the tranny back in. I'm a little burned out to say the least so I decided to stop fighting it and come back to it next week. I've got a Jeep Jamboree this weekend so that'll help me get my mind off things and come back to the truck nice and fresh
