Ah nice... He's about 20 mins from my house.

 

sweet, i call tomorrow, er today? however u wanna look at it to make sure that everythings going as planned, no unexpected damage... i told the guy it just quit moving forward like the clutch's went.

let us know how your trans feels. im excited to get mine back and feel that firm shift... mmmmmm FACK! i just wanna drive my own vehicles...

 

Yeah I cant wait to get off work today... wont get home till late, prolly cant even work on it till sunday!

 

lol same, i work saturday, i might get sunday off. i havnt heard yet

 

my trucks done! just gotta go pick it up.

 

what did you do to your truck paul?

 

Its in! headers, exhaust and torsion bars are all thats left! 2 hours of work tomorrow and ill be driving it

 

you had to take out the torsion bars to remove the tranny?

 

broke the flexplate... not sure how but it cracked in at least 2 placed wasnt much holding it on. i think the converter ballooned and caused stress on the flex plate and caused it to break.

 

SKRWZ: The torsion bar crossmember needs to be dropped in order for the transmission to come out.

 

Man, I never thought of that

 

no it dont, but DAMN its a biatch if you dont. i dropped mine with headers and torsion bar crossmember in place. let me revise this a bit, i didnt have to with my 4r70w, but that tranny seems significantly smaller.

hey joey, i dont get a day off for, uhm at least another 9 days. so your tranny will be my entertainment lol

 

yeah it made things so much easier dropping that cross member for the torsion bars.

 

heres my thing... if i drop that bracket, im wadding it up in a ball and making coilovers do the job. lol

 

Huh, w/E4OD, I just remove the Skid plate then Transfer case - Gives you access to everything. Well , with a mile long extention anyway, it's still a heavy b^tch

Cut the strings /loosen the support/ back the trans off the engine (a little) via slots in Trans support crossbar / pull the crossbar / back her the rest of the way out and get the f^ck out of the way

I don't remember much difficulties , but yea it would be easier..Never had the torsion bar CM off her yet - I would prolly end up throwing something out of wack or busting bolts if tried that one.
