Hey guys I'm a new member on here but not new to the site, I bought a crappy 95 GT to
Learn how to drive a standard in everyday traffic. I wound up falling in love with it and now I'm trying to fix it up, hopefully into a GT4 swap later on when I get more experience and money... My transmission went out on it after almost 20,000 miles after I bought it, and I bought another transmission that only had 110k on it and I'm going to start the swap after I buy a new clutch and seals for it. Is there any tricky parts I need to watch out for before I jump into it? Any feedback or tips would be greatly appriciated!

Preemptively speaking before I do this myself, I believe the issue is in separating the ball joint so that the hub comes free, apparently that's a tricky process.
