also, i dont know whether to put the clutch in the bellhousing, then hoist the tranny on the engine, bolt the top 2 bolts, and then bolt the clutch to the flexplate, or to bolt it to the flexplate first, then hoist the tranny on it... ?

I used some old school white lithium grease called Supralube. As for putting the transmission on. I always bolt the clutch up to the flexplate first, then stab the transmission on. Makes it alot lighter when trying to lift the transmission, especially if your by yourself. You may have to work it back and forth, but you should be able to get it in there.

I put the clutch/flywheel inside the trans on the input shaft, then hoisted the tranny up with an engine hoist, and bolted the bellhousing case to the engine block. Then bolted the flexplate to the clutch afterwards.
But the method described above seems better and easier.
