amazing pics and job Frank :) I will follow soon...tranny still holding up for now

:wow: ...3 words: round trip ticket? :D

Let us know how she hold up!

how much would you say the tranny weighs?

Great work, what is your background and experience?

Holy Mother of God! :wow:

Thanks SwissFrank - I think people are scared of Auto Transmissions - but there really isn't that much to them. A heck of a lot simpler than a manual transmission, in my book. As long as you have a decent manual, are slow and methodical both in removal and re-installation of the guts, I don't see why anyone with a modicum of brain cells left couldn't do this themselves.

Did it require any special tools to get things apart or back together??

If mine goes after 100k - I'll probably rebuild it myself as well...

So what gave you the balls to take this on with only your friend? Did you have any books or instructions for the operation? You have inspired me to take care of mine when the time comes. Great pics!

wow.. thats all i can say. i think if i tried that...i would stop as soon as i got near the tranny.

how much did this run you?

rebuilding is the easy part, no?

Crawling under there and taking it out, then puttin' it back, THAT"S the hard part!!!

Nice job!! Would like to hear about how she runs after.

looks like you pretty much have to soak everything prior to install. i may have missed it... what exactly went wrong, what parts did you replace, how long did it take and how much did the parts cost?
