Actually, the second time was pretty quick because I had just been through it. The first time was the time consuming one where I had to think out everything that I did and make jigs to support the transmission, etc. Obviously, I didn't pay attention to the throw out bearing. Alas.
As far as the wrenches, I have made a great wooden tool tray with four light weight casters and two "L" shaped, flat steel corner braces on the top that hold two of the Harbor Freight magnetic parts cups. Before I made it, I would always lay my tools on the floor and my "creeper" would constantly hang a wheel on something.
