its the wimpy way out, but the 8 million times i pulled out my awd auto trans i used a cherry picker. made my life simple

[ovaboost]

thats the way i pulled my trans there heavy compared to the 5speed. I usually just pull the motor with trans it makes it easier for me

Let me know, I have a tranny jack. After doing 10+ in just my last car alone, i figured it was time and boy is it easier with this.

Also you are right, that AT trans is a lot heavier than the 5 spd, at least enough where I'm not even gonna try to do it again and I know my brother can't just throw them in like he does with the 5 spds.

For sure gimme a shout, and maybe brown-ski too. Us Blainian's are usually down to lend a hand.

It will still be a while before the tranny goes in. I'll need to restall my converter before that happens. I'm planning on starting on the wireing harness this weekend. I neet to ad in the plugs for the TCu and tranny. I'm also thinking about doing a little wire tuck while Im in there. Does amyone have any tips on pulling the harness? I've never done it before.

A little update.

I've made alot of progress since my last update. The auto trans is all bolted up.I just need a few more things to button everything up. I desided to go a little different route then I originaly planned. I bought Goodharts Nitrous kit and will be using it to stall up on the stock converter. I also ditched the idea of using a reprogramed TCU for the Kiggly manumatic mod. The Manumatic mod eliminates the need for a TCU or shift box. You simply put the shifter in the gear you want and the trans shifts a full line pressure . I will probly go with a ratchet shifter whern I havesome extra money.

All I have left to do is:
1. Install the nitrous kit.
2. Put the center counsil and drivers seat in
3. Install trans cooler/ reinstall radiator
4. Put upper intercooler pipe back on ( from the looks of it it will just clear the trans)
5. Wire a few things. power to trans(kiggly mod), nitrous controled by DSMlink
