Damn...I didn't think the difference between the 80e and the 60e were that much! Good info.

yea, this is how you do it


when you have to balance the trans between two jackstands to put in that block of wood gets a bit hairy if you dont have it perfectly balanced

the yank converter went in with the first try....they mustve changed the design or something because it was a huge pain to get my PI 80e converter to fit last time, but the yank took like 20 seconds.

I made a head for my jack out of a 1/2 plywood and a 2x12. cut hole in the plywood and then screw it to the 2x12. makes it a 'little' less scary.
