Tranny removal tips needed



Text item: Text Item

Okay, as many of you know I'll be getting five-speed tranny next month and I'm
going to install it myself.  Looking through my Bentley I see that they
recommend that I drop the engine and tranny together.  Well, I would rather just
drop the tranny.

So, for those who have done this procedure, what should I do?  Follow the
Bentley and drop it all or is it fairly easy to just drop the tranny?  Either
way, do you have any recommendations?  Currently the engine does not contain oil
and I will be draining the oil from the tranny before I remove it.  Don't forget
about re-installation tips as well!

I will also be replacing the shifter coupler bushings but am wondering what to
use.  Should I stay stock or would urethane or polyurethane or some super
plastic be longer lasting?
