Bam Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 right. where did you complet this at. in my garage w/ my car on jackstands. why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 cause i was curious. im trying to do mine with one set of jackstands so its uneven. cant even get a good handle on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 you mean you only have the car on 2 jackstands? or do you consider a set 4? i have mine up on 4 still, since i'm doing other things, but the only thing I needed a jack for after getting the car on the stands was to raise the back of the motor level again to slide the input shaft in the housing. other than that it wasn't needed. took me about 7hrs start to finish on saturday, not bad for my first time.

Martin Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 the only thing I needed a jack for after getting the car on the stands was to raise the back of the motor level again to slide the input shaft in the housing. a set to me equals 2. when you buy jackstands they come in a pair unless you get the premium package. so in otherwords what you just said is that i do need a floor jack for easy install. i need to slide the tailshaft into the bellhousing component while the car is uneven. dude i realy dont want to argue with you. i just would like to borrow two floor jacks to be secure. i can do it with just one.

351mach11647545510 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 you can borrow mine but i will need something as collateral until they are returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
351mach11647545510 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 and not to start crap, but if you dont even have more than one set of stands do you even have the right tools (and knowledge) to be messing with a tranny? also, is it a 5spd or auto?

Martin Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 i need a floor jack. turns out my friends nieghboor might let me borrow his. i have 2 jack stands because my dad only bought 2. i have all the right tools. i have the knowledge now to put the tranny back together.i already took it apart.Its a manual T5 transmission.the best way to learn is to do and not just let someone else do it for you. can you send me a pm with your number so i can call you if i need your floor jack.
