I can only imagine how miserable it must have been to be an independent shop mechanic back during that era.
And, an Auburn is a pretty straight forward car - try a RR PI or a 1931 Cadillac when you need transmission work and it would have been more like the backyard mechanic meets Lockheed SR-71 Blackhawk, Concorde, or Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II

On a hoist use a trans. jack for support if you have one. Worth while investment if you don't have one. Just took a oil pan off a 10 Mitchell that I thought was Alum. but discovered when it came down on my chest it was cast iron! Put it back on with the floor jack and cradle. Easy peasy

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

It seems (to me) that there is no "easy" way to accomplish this.
*Note* I have more experience with newer cars (1965+) so I may be looking at this wrong (?)
Does the engine and transmission need to be out of the car to get this done?
