Transmission Rebuild Pics, do these pics make you want to DIY when it comes time?
 

Here are some pics for those of you that were following My X5 transmission rebuild last year so closely.

Since it was time for me to do the transmission in my Land Rover I took some pics to highlight what the insides of our tranmissions look like. And hopefully inspire some confidence in others.

These transmissions are very similar in their construction just differing in the size (larger in the x5 and at least 1 extra gear).

***I do want to point out that both me and my friend are both corporate white collars and not mechanics.***

If it ever becomes necessary, I'll buy you a plane ticket and fly you to Detroit to do mine ;)

Holy Shit! Is this some kind of joke thread?

Budweiser always helps.

makes the pain go away... haha

Can anyone photo-shop the hands/lube from this and paste into another pic!? (insert evil grin here)

But seriously, This is my future plans when the time comes. I worked at a trans shop for a lil while before I made it to the dealer. Where did you get the new parts? (company name?)

Let us know how she drives when it's all said and done too. (bragging is allowed :D)

Wow. I'm a dentist and that was some fancy operatin' there.

I've been trying to get my friend to try the dark side with his girlfriend, haha.

This time I got my parts from a distrubutor that gets them from King-O Matic here in Canada. When I rebuilt my X5 transmission I got the parts from Kirt Koeller at AutoSports Unlimited in the US and shipped to me. The X5 transmission is pretty solid, as long as your F Clutch stays in good shape, you'll be golden =)
