sorry for the rant but it was jsut a frustratin night and i nailed my head off the car so many times walkin under it,so i need to vent lol
well today i decided to drop my dranny and put in my replacement 1 as i want it in for the bash,so i get to the shop and since i lowered my car i cant get on the hoist anymore :rant: i had to jack up every corner and slide the feet under,so i get her up in hte air and start takin @!#$ apart and everyhting was going good,i got the tranny out no problem and i carry it over to the newer tranny to compare,well first thing i noticed was my new tranny was a electic speedometer where my old 1 is a cable driven one,so i start thinkin of something i can do and i came up wiht nothing except trying to cahnge bellhousing but then i would have to change some of the internals over and i didnt wanna do that,so i decide to put the newer tranny in and deal with the speedometer problem later.look at the tranny and theres a @!#$in bellhousing bolt snapped off in it :rant: so i had to drill that out and retap it and find a bigger bolt to fit it and it was kinda hard to tap cause a little chunk of the tranny was missing form when the bolt broke so the tapping tool didnt wanna go in to straight. after struggling with the damn tranny for awhile i finally got it bolted back in and got it all assembled and runs great and shifts smooth
and onto some pics now,heres a pic of gettin her in the air and removing some of the parts taht have to come out thru the hood
crossover,K-member,dog bone mount and axel out

and now for some more typing lol,does anyone know how i can get the electric speedo hooked up?and after filling the tranny with syncromesh i noticed a leak,look under and teh damn half shaft seal is bad i think,anyone know how much those are new?i was pissed as all i saw was $10 a liter draining out of my tranny lol ohh ya and my check engine light comes on but i believe taht is becuase the speedo isnt hooked up
