I have found what appeared to be pieces of my 2nd gear in my transmission oil (it's been a bangin and a clankin in 2nd gear). So I thought I would save some money and pull the transmission myself. The closet experience I have to pulling a transmission is replacing the clutch on my Sunbeam Tiger and my Datsun 510. I have the car up pretty high on jack stands but it has taken me just about all day to remove the tranny cover and take out all the bolts. The biggest pain was removing the clutch slave cylinder - for the life of me I couldn't get a wrench on one of the bolts.
Now that I am ready to slide it out, I thought I better ask for some advice. I'm wondering if I bit off more than I can chew! This transmission looks awfully big! I have a hydrallic jack, sissor jack but is that going to be good enough. Should I even attempt removing this transmission without a transmission jack (I am assuming I can rent one). Any advice would be appreciated. Or Does anyone know of anyplace on the web where I can get some detailed instructions?
At the point of no return
