Swapping my Tranny

[Troubled93]

Now guys I have a question about this tranny swap for any of you who have done one... Is there any real trick or anyway that I can get this thing to swap perfectly... Like shift perfectly... Is there a preferred way to do it like as far as taking it out in park or neutral or anything... I feel like a total nOOb asking but I don't wanna F this up... is it literally just a remove and install and hook up linkages and harnesses and thats it?

That's one of the few things I can't help ya with. I think the rest of our locals experience is only w/mtx's also?

IIRC, you just leave the car in park. Leave the new tranny in park, and install.

Yeah. Just leave the car in park. Youll want to start from the top, make yourself and engine support and chain the engine up. First youll have to pull the y pipe. Then you want to drop the subframe. You can just unbolt the lca's, motor mounts, steering rack, and power steering cooler.

After that, you can pull the starter, then turn the motor over so you can unbolt the torque converter from the flexplate. I think you can figure it out from there.

Sounds good to me.
