my wonderful night*PIX*

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

both trannys side byside

my centerforce dual friction clutch,orange paint is peeled off from teh tranny rubbin as it was coming down or goin in

mmmmmmmmmm metalic tranny fluid lol

newer tranny with the chunk missing and half a bolt stuck in it

jsut a pic

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
