HOW THE HELL DO I GET TO THE TRANNY/ENGINE BOLTS ON A 700R4??


ok here's what i am doing................(this is all for my T5 swap)

i got my tranny 1/2 way out in my driveway this morning

i got everything removed from the tranny, but i dont see how i can get to the bolts that attach the tranny to the engine block...........

how do i do this


any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

keep in mind that i am doing this in my own driveway on jackstands and that i'm not an A-tech (yet anyways )

 

it sucks, you need a long extension on your ratchet. you may be able to get the top bolts from the top, behind the engine. it's easier on my car w/o ac.

 

I JUST did the same thing this morning. Easiest way I found ( for me) was to take the driveshaft out and just shove a couple long *** extensions from right around the output shaft on the transmission--for the top two bolts. The others were just a wobble socket with a foot long extension. Hardest part is just breaking 'em loose, they go really easy after that. Remember, support the tranny somehow before you do this. My old one clunked down off my tranny jack even with it "secured" and almost took off a few fingers.

 

the previous owner got rid of the A/C on my car

whats weird though is that i cant even see the bolts

thanx man

 

now thats the kinda tip i was looking for :rockon:

 

I got to mine from the top behind the heads. It was a little easier with all the wiring outa the way, just used an open ended wrench/16 pt. closed.

Oh yeah, did ya ever get to jam with that bass player dude ya found? Heres a link to my demo I did a while back, 1.5 mb mp3, crappy quality but u get the idea of my style... http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/gimmefu.../robsdemo1.mp3

 

demo sounds cool

i should be jamming with him this saturday night

i'll let you know how it goes

were you using a ZOOM 505 on that demo?

sounds like the one i used to use

 

Nah I only use Boss single pedals for the time beings... Metal Zone, EQ, Super Phaser, Chorus Ensemble, Digi. Rev/Delay, Harmonist, TU2, Morley Bad Horsie, Morley Vol, and my infamous POS Fender Champ (more like wussy) 112 +. The harmonics are real though, not using the pedal. A total of 8 tracks in that thing.

 

awesome dood

just talked to my bass player........he wants to do it!!!!!!

also a really good friend of mine is a drummer but he doesnt have a set (yet) so i might pass the idea by him :rockon:

yeah demo sounded really good

honestly the guitar tone was a little weak, but admittley i have been searching for 3 years for a tone that sounds "real" and i cant get diddley squat
i tried seperate FX pedals, ZOOM 505, and now i have a FX processor thats pretty old but gets me a good tone, buts its not 100%

what did you record it on??

also how easy was it to program the drum machine?

all in all your playing kicks *** man!!!!!!

 

Well, I recorded it directly from the amp to the computer via the headphone jack on the amp to the mic jack on the comp. I know what ya mean about the sound... If I could get it to sound on the recording as good as it does in person I would have been alot happier. The drum machine is PC Drummer, just a little track I threw together to put behind it. When I compressed it to MP3, it lost a good amount of quality from the origonal wav file. Recorded it all with N'Track Studio, and edited with Cool Edit. I have made better, this was just somethin I threw together one night I was bored.
Lemme know when ever u guys wanna all get together and jam, or atleast discuss **** and get it together!

 

it still sounded great man!!!

better than anything i was ever able to throw together on my PC



well, i'm going over to jam with him saturday night, so i'll let you know whats up on Sunday


ummmmm back on topic (lol)

so best thing for me to prolly do is: jack up tranny and engine and get the bolts from behind the engine?

most of the wiring is already removed (non-CC :rockon: ) so i guess it shouldnt be too hard to do

 

Yeah man, get that tranny up in the air... its not good to let it dangle like that, undue stress on bolts and crap like that.
