Just in case, some apartment buildings prohibit their tenants to work on car at the parking lot ( your sig)?

I've replaced an entire engine in that space ;) but yes I can work on my car if I wanted. Only shitty thing is its outside. I have a covered space for it, but its still outside

level 14?

Yup. Level 14, 148 lines

This Jack

5-speed swap on jack stands. Even at the jack stands highest points, using a jack, what is the best way of getting the damn thing under the car. I was thinking of using my creeper to move it under through the front of the car, than just lower it onto front jack stands leaving the rear sitting on the ground.

I'm doing this whole swap by myself, so any ideas have to be worked around just one man doing the work. I'l have 2 x jacks, 4 x jack stands, & only weight 150 lbs. & it feels like I'm lifting half my weight. *time to hit the weights again*

Thanks guys

p.s. Also will some wheel bearing grease work for the inside of the transmission input shaft? Anything on the spindle?

So now you have to r3v match? Shitty.

[spiDmang]

Well I just spent the last 3 hours, in the snow, Tryna fight this damn slave
Cylinder.... And I just got off.

With the Holidays and everything, it was just bad timing I guess to ask anyone to spare anytime.

I wouldn't mind doing a work party, but I make it a home cooked meal of my mom's barbecue baked ribs soaked overnight in Bull's eye sauce & Silver Patron, add a side of mashed potatoes.
Haha it's going to suck, the biggest issue is getting the transmission onto the jack while laying on the ground. I am a tiny guy with hardly any arm strength from that perspective. I'll use safety & my brain & see what comes of it this evening.

Jay-B-Q?? Do you have an indoor space to work on your car?

[e30austin]

Brad, the clutch slave should just unbolt with the two 13mm on the trans. Might need to drop the trans down a little, but when I changed the one on my 'vert, it was not required. Good luck to you!

I like the idea of a Jay-B-Q. Ribs sound awesome. I like garlic mashed potatoes, FWIW.

[Keith M]

^ditto.

Thanks Austin. I was able to get it off without lowering the trans. It was a matter of squeezing my hands into those tight spaces... Ridiculous

It's not indoor since its a barn, but its covered and out the rain. Im in jeans and a sweater and only the wind is bothering me, but my head is shaved.

Need a quick reply please, is my pilot bearing supposed to be all the way back? I ask because I hammered it in, but it has some space slightly. Greasing input shaft now ....

[bmwm42]

all the way back jay

[e30austin]

+1. All the way back.

[Mlarsen]

Talk to Matt. I asked this same question during the r3v nite out.


You must have been too faded to remember

16 bucks for each corner isn't bad, I doubt I can get it done for cheaper.
