Check in the For Sale section see if anyone is parting out. If not, hit up Kevin Landers.

lol.....NA manual Trans is light as fuck. Stop being a bitch Tom. Installed one by myself when I did the Auto to Manual swap on my old FC.

Well, I will be pulling it myself. I just looked at the FSM, it should be pretty easy. Starter, neutral switch, reverse switch, speedo cable, 6-8 bolts, then the cross member, then drop it slowly

Put some good fluid in there. You should also change the fr & rr trans seals while you have it out & check on the shifter bushings.

tweiss3 05-06-2011 02:41 PM

Well, the shifter has been bashed to inoperability from the snapped driveshaft I found. Thats why the trans is coming out. I may just be getting a junk yard trans from the same place i got the driveshaft.

As for good fluid, I plan on running the schaffers

Boosted FC 05-07-2011 12:22 PM

Oh.....check the mounts too. Might as well replace them while you have the trans out.

tweiss3 05-07-2011 10:48 PM

Mounts look like new. But here is what the driveshaft did:

What are my options here?

Check to see if the linkage(s) are not bent.
If they are okay, you can get away with just replacing the tail shaft housing.
Dead non-turbo FC transmissions should be plentiful?

I have a tail housing that you can have for paying shipping. Let me know as I have to take it off the transmission.

tweiss3 05-08-2011 06:14 PM

And it has the shifter housing on it? Im in, pm me where and how much.
