So far no other plans other than a new set of plugs. In the future, I will have to look into something, and I'm unsure which route I will go at this point.
Anyhow more updates. Got the oil pan installed. Went to put the Felpro gasket on and it's the complete wrong shape. Come to find out there's a couple different oil pan designs, and of course the gasket was for the other one. Somabitch. The gasket did come with 4 bottles of RTV however, so I just "Tpunx'd that shit" and hopefully that will suffice. We shall see...
Once I was done with that, like Spazzy mentioned I just grabbed some gasket material I had laying around and made a gasket for the oil drain flange. Gave it a coat of copper spray for good measure. So that should be done.
Installed the oil feed fitting into the turbo. I used a little bit of liquid pipe thread sealer.
Decided to try and tackle the tranny. First I had to remove the rest of the exhaust. Once I got that off, I removed the driveshaft.
Then started at the Tranny. I got all the motor to tranny bolts off. Slave Cylinder off, Starter off. Took 2 of the 4 tranny mount bolts off. Took the reverse light plug off. And that's where it sits.
What's left is I need to find the speedometer cable and remove it. Then I have to figure out how to unhook the damn shifter in the car. I took the 4 bolts off that hold it to the tunnel. Looking online people say the shifter should just lift off? Mine doesn't budge. Dumb little thing I'm sure, just gotta figure it out. Then just remove those last two bolts on the tranny mount and she should be on the floor. Aaron hit me up tomorrow I need to borrow that tranny jack if at all possible.
In comparison to a DSM tranny, so far it seems about the same. Probably just because I've done a DSM one so many times, and it's my first time doing this.
