[6pack] tranny r&r

[Mark Hooper]

Hi Oliver:

I've just done it without removing the emergency brake handle, but it is much
easier if you do.

And of course, the required blood sacrifice will be collected whether you will
or no.

Cheers,

Mark

are there any gotcha's in removing and replacing the tranny?  I remember
doing it once before but I've slept since then . . .

I have to replace the ring gear :- (

is there a site that describes it?  or am I just dreading the work more than
I should?

I know there are a bunch of bolts that hold it to the engine, and the
starter is part of that.  and you have to disconnect the driveshaft.

I know - remove the seats, dash support, pull back the carpet, and remove
the cover.

how about replacing the cover?  I seem to remember that being somewhat
tricky.

any advice, hints, etc welcome.
