is she full of fluid ? you might be able to drop it an inch and put rtv in there but

I doubt its gonna work well with the atf there

 

Yeah...thats what i was hoping to do....clean it all really good and pack aome black rtv in there.
Maybe just patch it up.
The fluid on there is all oil i think.

 

ok, i have my baby back in my own driveway again...just in time to go back to work.
all in all not a terrible job...def heavy, but not terrible.
one day to tear down and one to get it back together.

total job...200.00 including seals and fluid and tranny....not to shabby if i do say so.

just wanted to report back in...thank you guys for the help and pointers...and esp hanr3 for the write up...had it the whole way.

 

glad shes on the road again man ....

happy all went well

 

Thanks gio

I have to say having a body lift made it alot easier...its amazing what 2 inches of space can mean.

 

yea man I really wanna do a body lift

I just dont have the money and the time to fab brackets

 

WTG Jarad! 2 days is good time especially considering it fell on your lap & you had to find a trans. As for the body lift I can't agree with you more. I bet changing plugs is a walk in the park compared to removing the tires & how much of a chore is that really? I know with my BL plugs are easy as hell - right through the fenderwell with the tire removed!
Having the BL & taller tires gives a person so much more freedom under the vehicle.
