I don't know if this will help at all, but here's part of a write up I did on a tremec install...

I'm pretty sure this is pretty basic stuff to most readers, but it was a nice day so I took pics anyway.

I already had everything apart, so this starts with assembly. Nothing special with disassembly other than the pilot bearing. They make pullers, but I use roller bearings so I just chiseled the old one out.

After a good cleaning of the area, install your pilot bearing. If you use roller bearings, make sure to put the seal out. It's the end that looks like it has a "cap" over the bearings. I use a socket that fits the OD of the bearing and tap it in. It needs to be flush with the end of the crank.

The flywheel goes on next. I used a pair of vise grips to hold it stationary when I torqued it (60 ft/lbs).

The clutch and pressure plate will install next. The disc will usually have one side that sticks out more on the dampener - this side faces the pressure plate.

Most discs come with an alignment tool. This one didn't so I buffed an old one down a bit. Easy task, you just have to make sure that it's taken down evenly so it still centers the disc.

Next part to install is the clutch and pressure plate. Start all 6 bolts and run then in hand tight only. Then install the alignment tool making sure it goes into the pilot bearing all the way. then torque those bolts to about 32.

Now you're ready to install the bell housing and throw out bearing. Two tips here. First, if you have headers, it will probably help to tilt the engine down in back (you'll want to when you stab the tranny anyway). You want to be careful not to break your distributor cap on the firewall, but a little room makes a lot of difference. Second, the clutch fork usually has a couple of "fingers" on each side. Both of these go inside the outer lip of the throw out bearing.

After all that is done, hook up the clutch linkage. Nothing special here except it may be a good idea to use needle nose pliers instead of your fingers to grab the anti vibrate spring. If you slip, that little bastard will give you a nice little hole in the finger... or so I heard.

You're pretty much ready to stab the tranny.

Stabbing the transmission is fairly easy if you aligned your clutch properly. The important part is not to force stuff. I usually remove the swivel from my floor jack and bolt a 6" wood block in its place to better balance. Set the tranny on a floor jack and ease it into place. It's important to have the transmission parallel to the engine before you start the stab. Have the tranny in gear so once everything is lined up, you can turn it to match its splines with the clutch disc. Once the splines are mated, a little wiggling and pushing, both gently, and it should slide in. Never pull it in with the bolts. Once the face of the tranny and bell housing are touching, install the bolts and torque them.
