tranny change, now working a "how to" Options

[lake1069]

i brought down my tranny today b/c my clutch was gone, and synchos are mess up. while i was doin it i took some pics, maybe they can help someone down the road. best advice do it with a buddy i spent maybe 6-7 hours on it today and still not finish, with a buddy im sure it would have been less. this weekend will be the interesting thing, the 3rd gear synchro has to be replaced. it was only 29.99 from the dealer but im not gonna pay 400 for someone to put it in. that is all of what i left to do b4 i can put the tranny back on. ill take some more pic while i work on that too.
first i jacked up the car and took the axel off( 45 minutes)


took everything that was in the way off and pulled down the tranny(1.5 hour)


took the old clutch and flywheel off(20 minutes)


had the flywheel turn and put it back on(40 miles and 20 minutes puttin on.)


new clutch set, putting it on ( 1 hour)

we should get one solid copy for all to edit and adjust

I have put a motor in my car and changed a tranny in another celica and it is not as time consuming and hard as you think.

I could probably tell you what bolts you need to take out and what size they are.

if you have a lift so that the car is over ur head than it wont be too hard because things can be seen clearly and have the freedom to move around with no problems, and with experience of course it wont be as time consuming. but for someone with no experience im sure it can turn into a nightmare. after i finish ill put up a copy so that it could be double checked and edited.
