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

Thanks sheldon

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?

RETed · 05-08-2011, 01:39 AM

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.
