i was going to point it out ;) i hate those ------- pins too, one time i did a swap and couldn't get the driver side axle out or the shift linkage, it was awkward pulling it out with an axle and shift linkage still attached :P

what do you have to do to the tranny to install the phantom grip? besides disassemby

Re:A saturday afternoon (56k warning)
 

is it a pita to pull just the tranny? i've only messed with trannies with the whole engine removed, so basically, i've just pulled the two out together :-\

Re:A saturday afternoon (56k warning)
 

what I mean is it a bolt in part? do you have to grind cut? because see a lot of mods coming to my car when I get back from the war $30,grand extra a year+ other bonus and allowance ;D

Re:A saturday afternoon (56k warning)
 

cool, rudeboy, goodluck, you need a hammer and screw drivers, its not to hard, go on google and look at the zc lsd install they did

Re:A saturday afternoon (56k warning)
 

get a pair of vice grips, an old rod bolt, and a big hammer :)

the rod bolt is the same diameter as the pin. it will come right out... with a big enough hammer.

as for installing a phantom slip. drop the tranny out the bottom, take the case apart (you will need snap ring pliers) the guts will come out in 1 assembly if your careful. the rest is cake.
also if you have a sohc, it would be a good time to put in a SRR 4.7 FD ;)

:thumbsup: 7 or 8 hours isnt bad time for that job. it took a friend and i a bit longer. but there was a lot of beer involved :)

Re:A saturday afternoon (56k warning)
 

srr 4.7 FD? I didn't know we could get such a thing? Where is it found?

Re:A saturday afternoon (56k warning)
 

That is a JDM final drive if I am correct. Surprisingly the whole trans escapade was easier than I thought. You don't need snap ring pliers, though they do help. Some good needle noses and the right knowledge of how to use them will get you through it. Regarding the roll pin, I couldn't find anything remotely close to the same size, so it stayed. There is another roll-pin in the diff that is 1/8", I had the punch or that one though.

I just used the teg instructions posted in the Tech/hybrid section for dismantle, worked great. I can't image manual transmissions to be that different. It was a LOT easier than I thought.
