DIY: Tranny removal and Input Shaft Bearing change

[Z]

Yeh how long and how difficult is just the tranny removal/replacement part?? Was thinking of changing my tranny over for something a bit shorter...

PS. Good writeup...

a good mechanic can take the gearbox out in 1 hour, a back yarder will take a day.

it all boils down to yoru compentency level and the tools you have available

1. There is no sealing agent between the gearbox casing and the block.
2. Go with the obvious answer

how did you undo the shift linkage from under the shifter like u mentioned in the thread?

GREAT Thread by the way!!!

[Rice_banger]

not to hard , 1 bolt on 1 end , then go under neath the gear stick and anther bolt , DO NOT try undo the split pins

bump this up as I have a relevant question, you say use a socket and long extention to knock the ISB out ?
with my box, the diameter of the inner bearing is the same as the diameter of where the input shaft goes into, there's no way to use a socket and knock it from the other side. If you place a socket that just fits the clutch housing, it will just slip through the bearing.

Can you clarify?
