Advice on replacing I35 transmission
I am trying to decide if I will replace the transmission in my I35 myself. After some searching I found that if you know how to pull the c/v axles you can handle the hardest part of the job. Is this true? Is it really all down hill after simply removing the c/v axles?

No!
Moving that sumbish up and down would be the hardest part. It's like 150ish lbs.
Overall it's not that hard of a job, pretty straight forward. Time consuming, but straight forward.

haste makes waste
I had planned on using a jack for moving the transmission up and down. Final alignment might be difficult because of the weight, but I have pry bars for that.

I estimate that my car has over 200k on the odometer. When I changed the fluid for the first time about a year ago it looked like it had never been changed. It ran better with regular fluid changes, but now it slips when it gets hot and shifts hard. I found a good amount of metal in the pan on the last fluid change.
