Gettin A New Tranny Finally!

[JET]

Stick a chisel, big screwdriver, etc between the green part and the tranny, then give it a smack with a hammer. It will pop right out.

man wtf, just pops out huh? just like how when installing a tranny it just fits right in there right? God why are trannies such a bitch for me. I hate trannies. damn them all!! but thanx for the advice. Tommorow will include lots of hammering!!!

[Halon]

and no not the axel, just the green part, we yanked and shit so hard that the whole axel came out but the green thing is still in there. we were prying and pulling, but i guess im just too much of a beefcake! j/k

On a 1g the inner axle cup is green. He is just talking about the whole cup that goes into the tranny.

i do have a camera. It's too dark right now. But the passenger side axel. The one that is just one piece, not 2. Well where it meets the tranny, there is a little green piece that seems to go into the tranny. Well I swear it comes out, I just don't remember how we got it out the other times. And plus my new tranny doesn't have one so it's gotta come out. But maybe tomorrow I can throw up a pic real quick of what it is im tlaking about

Yea that is the axle cup, you just need to pry it out, try wiggling it and prying at the same time. Do what JET said and stick a screwdriver between the cup and the tranny and hit it with a hammer.

[Halon]

thanx, will do!

Put the tranny in today. Of course it was a freakin whore at first. First we tried just two of us lifting it up in. Well we tried that a few times actually. But as always it was getting stuck. So we went back to our barbarak methods, jacked it up, got out the huge pry bars. And of course, it was still being a whore. So we jacked it back down, tried to lift it in again, and sure enough the thing just slid right in. God that was a wonderful relief. I still need to install the SS Braided clutch line i bought. Still need to put all the fluids in, need to connect the battery and all the lil plugs we undid still. Just a bunch of little things really. Hopefully she'll be purrin tomorrow. And then we get to do it all over again to my buddies Laser!!! woohooo. And then when I come home I get to do it all over again to Austin (IndiEP) laser. I should be a pro in no time right?

Oh and a hammer and a big prying thingamabob did the trick on that green thing!!!! thanx

Tranny is in on both cars as of about 30 minutes ago. Nick still has to add fluids and put his driveshaft back in and a few other random things. Mine is all done and moving! Only problem is that the shifter knob sits way forward. Where it used to sit in 3rd gear, is now where it sits in neutral. Gotta do a shifter cable allignment tomorrow. My buddy online told me just to take out the center console and adjust the Front/Back cable back like maybe 5 threads. Hopefully tomorrow she'll be all done!
