Im heading to the junkyard tomorrow and am thinking of getting myself a 5spd to swap. The problem is, I've never removed a 5spd and have a limited time to do it (5 hours). Think this will be enough time to remove the tranny and related parts?

 

5hrs? hmm lets see, intake starter, unbolt harness and electronics from tranny idk if 5speeds have it?neways uhm take apart the spindles on both sides to get the cvas out, then take out tranny mount, and for my auto i had to loosen the cross member then take out tranny, i tink

 

Hell ya you drop a tranny in less than 5 if you have teh right tools and you know what you're doing. I'm sure some people can do it in less than 1 hour

 

Is it possible to drop it without jacking the car (much), Or without the 2 jack wiggle wiggle method outlined in the 5spd swap write-up? The reason I ask, this will be in the middle of a junkyard (no nice hard floor) and its been raining like ***** for the last 2 days so its going to be muddy. Second question how heavy is the tranny, because I can get it for $45 if I can carry it .


Muahahah ill be in no time!

 

Ha, youll need to jack up the car and definitely need someone to help you carry it

 

45 dollars for the tranny in junk yard? if u cant carry it how the hell u going to install it back in?

 

thanks guys, well im off wish me luck :0
