It will take you a while the first time you do it, trying to find all the bolts and crap you need to unhook.

Fastest I ever did a trans swap in, was 8 hours. That's with having a new trans standing by readiy to go in, and it was using a hoist.



thats the exact same method i use on FWD trannies. the hoist is the perfect way to hold the motor in place

stazi im gonna try to beat your record as soon as i get my clutch and flywheel
