TRE - Taller 5th Gear

They're just pulling the old one out, putting the new one in along with a clutch and flywheel, I'm supplying the New trans and the fluids.

I did alot of the work myself, disconnected all the hoses, wires, sensors, everything but the axles and the DS. Thats where I got stuck and confused and I do not have the tools to do it. I gave up.

I dont know..

Most shops don't want to work on a car that someone already started working on and aren't going to offer a discount when a car comes in half torn apart.

We don't like doing it either. It becomes the "who is responsible for what" argument.

I hear ya. But damn my working enviroment blows. Unfinished garage with soil for a floor.. I dont know, You guys are making me want to drop it myself now. I haven't a clue on how to get the front axles out of the transmission..(?)

I just got it all back on the ground ready to roll onto a truck and now I'm about to go tear it all apart and try to pull it out again.. Wheres the DSM transmission removal for dummies book when you need it?

What I've done;

Raise on stands, took front wheels off, took out pass. side inner fender/fender, disconnected Speed gear, disconnected wiring from trans, removed batt./box, removed intake piping, removed shift cables, trans-to-block bolts, I think I got everything but the DS and the front axles, thats where I'm stuck, I havent a clue on that nor have ever done that before. I am willing to learn but damn.. None of my buddys ever did this extensive of work so getting help is hard.

Heres what I think I have left to do from where I left off before I put the wheels back on;

Support engine, support trans, disconnect DS, disconnect l/r front axles(?), removed trans mounts (1 ?), then drop it and put the new one in? The new trans aint here yet so I got time but cheese n' rice brothers im confused..
