I am thinking about swapping my transmission, but have a few questions and been searching but not able to find any info..
I plan on getting an engine hoist and removing the tranny from the bottom.
Is there any exhaust componants that need to come off?
It looks to me that the exhaust is out of the way and I should be able to drop the cradle without messing with exhaust?
The manual says to unbolt the steering rack from the cradle and support it to the body with heavy wire, away from the chassis. If I support it with wire, then unbolt it, it should stay where it is without problems?
and lastly.. how much clearance do I need to slide the cradle and tranny out from under the car?
I would greatly appreciate any advise and info, and if anyone can find a video with step by step instructions, or just detailed written instructions that would be awesome! My manual just says (remove any exhaust componants that may interfere with removal *see Chapter 10*) it dont tell me much.
Thank you in advance!!! k3:
