Saturday, May 13, 2006 3:46 AM
I've been lurking around for a while and finnaly joined... I've got a 99 z24 with a 4 speed auto.. its cracked..

i got a used tranny at a junk yard.....anyway i need to put it in now.. instead of paying someone 250 to put it in for me i wanna do it myself.. I've helped replace a 3speed in a 2 door 2.2 but never anything with the 4 speed 2.4... anyone know of a walkthrew or soemthing? somethign i can read and do what it says lol.... I've got a haynes manual but its really hazy when it comes to the 4 speed...any help would be greatly appreciated..

Do you have a hoist, or is this a driveway repair?

Do you have air tools?

If you answered no to either of those I wouldnt recommend doing it yourself.

I honesty dont know specifically what tools you will you need. I was just making sure you had air tools because some of those bolts are on there with over 150ft pounds, and that combined with being on the car for seven years they arent going to come off easy at all.

When I have done trans before, basically you just look at your situation and see what youve got.

Will I need to drop the subframe, will I need to remove this and that. Then you go from there.
