I did the same thing with my water pump and oil pan. Works great when you're going solo.

Saves a lot of time and, if you're applying an RTV sealant/gasket, ensures no spreading necessitating cleaning surfaces and re-applying the RTV.

Kudos!

Yup-
My only problem was finding really long M12 bolts (100mm +) that I could cut with the correct thread (1.5 I think without looking).
Most US hardware stores are still stuck in the non-metric world, so you have to be patient.

Make yourself a couple of these to screw into engine and guide the transmission. These are 100mm long. Huge help. Notice the cut to remove via screwdriver
