swapping trannies is not that difficult. Took me and a buddy of my dad's to swap the tranny out of my 90 civic in like 6 hours or so.

6 isn't bad...u can do it faster though...if u dotn run into problems....

so is it basicly just take the screws out and pull the trans out.and so on.dont see to bad..



add me if you have myspace

basically is....but u gotta disconnect steering linkages, axels, wiring for the starter, reverse sens. hydraulic lines, shift linkage, the mounts, support the engine, and have a tranny jack...or some one to help u drop the trans out of the vehicle
