Please..I didnt even see your ass under the car until Jerry and I removed the X Midpipe, Rear mufflers, and Crossmember. Oh I was also the one helping you remove the Driveshaft...Oh and that was me who pulled it out from under the car...Oh and I believe I was under the car for 6 of the 8 Bellhousing bolts and under the car for an hour trying to figure out how to remove the last two.

It was only a few minutes after I left you geniouses got the idea to remove the tranny from the bellhousing.....so lets give credit where credit was due.

Oh I was also the one that went with Dein to find the damn extensions we needed to remove the last bolts.

Thanks come again

Damn Jarrod, the way you make it sound, you would be one hell of a tech as long as you don't have to break loose header bolts!

Any updates, get it fixed yet?

Not yet. Still waiting on parts to be delivered. Hopefully Monday.

FN Fairmont... :)

FO!!

When driving with my hand on the shifter i feel it rocking when on a rough road.I checked the bolts and the tranny brackets.All are tight.Anyone else notice this.It seems to move front to rear and is in time with the road.I would think this rocking motion would be hard on the tranny.

Tony, Do you ever start your own thread or do you just hijack the closest one to your problem!!


You crack me up tony!!

Now back to the current thread. Do you have any updates Jerry?

Just now getting around to reading this. Sorry to hear Jerry. Shouldn't be a huge problem though. Keep us updated man. I hate to see my Sonic Blue Twin go down.

O K starting new thread

Tranny is fixed. Should be able to get it back in tomorrow night.

What all did you have done to it? Was a 26 spline input shaft was in the laundry list of things you had done to it? I mean the thing is in pieces so you might as well go ahead and do it while you're in there.....just say'n

Have you checked the connecting bolts to the actual shifter handle? Mine were loose and there was a lot of slop front to back. Tightened them down with a little loctite and walla...shifter feels smooth again.

Now there is side to side play in the shifter...I believe thats normal

Fourth gear was replaced and had some heat wear on it. Brass pads replaced the plastic ones between the shift forks and then also replaced the broken pieces which I do not know what the were called but are on the synchronizers i believe and allow the sliders to slide. Other than that, no upgrades.

Did you get it loaded in the truck?

not yet, working on it

Update. Got it put back in and have drivin it a few times. All seems to be back to normal with no problem. Thanks to Greg, Jarrod, Dein, Paul and Ronny for helping out.

Cool, lets both go to the track and break our shit again! :)

Update again. Thanks to Paul, got a little exhaust leak fixed that was throwing a check engine light. Adjusted, and reset the computer. So far so good.

Thanks again to all that helped with this project. You don't know how much of a help it was.

No sweat. Nothing that a little grinding wouldn't fix. ;)

eh hmmm who diagnosed the exhaust leak causing the O2 sensor to read lean?

SCT...
