oh ok the factory service manual no i've been useing the haynes manual

i have one too it helps alot.. I bought a hanyes manual when i first got my fc; At times you may need the FSM for certain little details on things. every little bit helps..

tell me about it the section on auto trans is kinda vague. i should have the old tranny droped today i hope its been cold here so that has slowed me down. i should have more pics.

punched cats out and got the cross member droped also drained the tranny

here are some engine pics

hey guys its been snowing here so its kinda hard to get anything done but in the meantime i was looking at what i could do with this project and i want to keep it as JDM as possiable so im sticking with 15" wheels and low pro tires with a one inch drop and some swaybars to help it handle. besides sticking with the 15's what do you guys sujest as far as body and paint? post some pics so i can see. all input is greatly appericated. also here is a pic of the wheels im looking at

Good news got the car towed to the technical center and have one bolt to pull tommrow and the old tranny will be out! ill post new pics tommrow. BTW the socket to pull the flywheel bolt off is a bitch to find at a parts store. its a 2 1/8" socket.:88:

got the tranny out and trying to pull the counterweight

Whats w/ the old Benz?

What else are you doing there w/ the old wheels off? Swapping the rear end entirely?

lol the benz is the shop toy. and im just changing rear brake pads.

Dude, so I had no idea that the stupid cross member was removable... why do I only find out now that I've both tanken the engine out, and put it back in with the damn thing still in there?

I guess it's better that I at least know it now!

PS: The socket is available at Sears, it will be a chrome 12point socket. Dont worry, it wont break if you use it with an impact. You also need to get an adapter so it will fit a 1/2 impact drive.

bought one from Ohio tools in a six point also i have a 3/4" impact gun

Damn, one up me on everything! haha! :D

lol it kinda help working on heavy equipment sometimes

Goodies!!!!!!!
