ive been blowing trans fluid all over the place for a lil while and finally got one today and it goes in friday .. i cant wait

Ikuhna · February 24, 2012, 06:30:06 AM

cbakes and i on our way to put the trans in.. its gonna be nice to use a lift instead of crawling under it in the snow

CBakes · February 25, 2012, 03:24:35 PM

All in a days work...all in all with very few hang up's, we managed to pull the old trans out,
Put the new one in and get back on the road in under 6 hours. Had a hang up separating the tcase from trans due to oxidation / corrosion which was probably an hour of the time. Glad to know that the trans worked very well on the hour + trek home! Good first trip.
