if i rememeber correctly its about 20-25 bolts, 4 on the driveshaft, 4 on the cross member, 1 on the torque arm, 1 or 2 for the shifter cable, 6 on the bell housing, and i think 5 or 6 on the flexplate to the converter, and boom pull it out. its a 2 or 3 hours process to pull it if you are gonna be doing it on your back in your driveway with hand tools. about 30 min if ya have a lift a trans jack and air tools.

It's not very complicated or hard,

Just heavy and a pain in the ass. If you put it on jackstands, make sure it's up high enough to get the tranny out the bottom.

I've never done it, but I don't think it should be that bad.

I think the weight of the tranny, and room under the car will be the biggest things.

I take rt 101 to work. From Manchester to Epping.

lallaalal if theres a possibilty of being able to do it at work do it, dont be affraid to ask, do it after hours, push and roll your car in and out when its opened/ closed, ,,,,,,


have some extra dough aside incase its a headache and you need a continuem transfuctioner...

Laying under a car bench pressing a trans and trying to get bolts started by yourself sucks.

Ive done it quite a few times with b-block 727t-flite trans and there fucking heavy end up more than often puting it on a small jack balanceing it with my legs while i put bolts in
