how hard is it to put in a tranny?

update!

ok getting off the axle nut today was hard. i broke 2 half inch craftsman ratchets on the passenger side. and never got it off.so i figured i could pull the struts off for more room.well i messed up by taking my dumbass brother with me because he did nuthing but get in the way and irratate me and bitch about how cold it was. so i leave to go get a air ratchet and figured id grab some lunch well i left him there and took off. well when i get back he was mad at me so he tells me the guy wants my car outof his shop. so i had to put everything back on and my friend helped push my car out just to find out he was lieing so pretty much i wasted today and took one step forward and two steps back...im going to give it a nother try tommorrow and leaving his dumbass there...sorry for ranting but hopefully it will be done tommorrow

i did my clutch & tranny swap last winter. it took me awhile since i had to do it all by myself with my 2 floor jacks and wood blocks in sub zero temps wearing my snowboarding gear underneath my monkeysuit in my garage. ya it was that cold. i had to tilt the engine and dropped the tranny from the bottom. removal wasn't bad but the hardest thing was installation since i had no help to lift it and the tranny has no flat surfaces on the bottom. in the end it was well worth it for the money i saved and the instant gratification i got. plus i changed the rear main seal which was the last and only oil leak i had left to do and replaced both master and slave cylinders as well. she's been perfect ever since (so far).

hope all went well dude

woo-hoo i took her out around 7:30 last night and my car has never pulled so well...i love it...its the first time i drove it to work in the last week...everyone was amazed when i told em it was just me and a friend...i feel great cuz i know how to do it now and no one can take it from me...




Thanks slick!!
