ok well im doin the swap on saturday and sunday how ever i dont get my new spohn crossmember/torque arm into one till tuesday or wednesday i was wondering if i can install the tranny and support it on a jack until than?? and if the jack will get in the way..when i install so i can save time???

 

Sure, you can just support it with a jackstand. Instlling the tranny was the quick part for me, the really fun part is installing the pedals.

 

any tips??? im using 4th gen pedals??? its going along real smooth we drained the pan... pulled the drive shaft and torque arm started at 10:30 and just about dropped the tranny... so things are going smoothly...having air tools is cool

 

Not really, just be prepared to spend time installing, removing and adjusting the position of the pedals. Oh, and cut out the carpet between the firewall and the pedals. With it in, there isn't enough travel to release the clutch.

 

The 3rd gen pedals work better. Get yourself a set and spare yourself some trouble.
