You teach me how to drive, I'll teach you how to R&R a tranny. I will have the much easier job...

You did this the hard way. I just drop the entire rear suspension, and roll it out of the way. Then the transmission comes out easily. And this has less effect on the alignement.

From my POV, Ive got the easy job.


Have you ever taken dancing lessons?


LMK if you ever make it to a Norcal track day..if its a Non-NASA event, I'll be available, otherwise I'll be busy as a race director at the NASA events.

6 bolts at the front trailing arm mount brackets, 6 bolts on the crossmember to body, suspend the tranny from the sway bar, and drop the whole rear suspension. The whole thing balances on a jack, easily R&R'ed by 1 person as long as you've got the bottom of the car at least 21" off the ground.

Robs garage floor shines better than the hood of my car.

Good luck with the trans, way to dive-in to making the car work.
