I GOT IT! New 5 Spd tranny!

Posted by Brian in Calgary on December 27, 2003 at 23:56:56 from 68.144.145.162

Well folks, it was quite the challenge and I almost psyched myself out of it, but with some help from a good friend, I successfully removed the 5 spd tranny that I have been moaning about for the past couple of weeks. Check out the attached link for some pics and a play by play of the adventure.

Now just have to wait for the snow to go away and swap the automatic out. patience, patience, patience.

Thanks to all for words of encouragement and tips and tricks along the way.
