haha. nope, no trannys fell on me. I haven't had much time to work on the car though. I've been working all day and going to school all night pulling like 12 and 14 hour days. it sucks. Any free time I have I'm way too tired to work on it so I basically haven't touched it since sunday. the tranny is almost out of the car, at this point, I could have it out in 5 minutes, just gotta pull the shift cables off the tranny (the clips are already out) and just lower the jack and the tranny *should* come down with it. then I gotta pull off the clutch and flywheel, but I don't have a clutch alignment tool to put them back on. one came with my clutch, but I gave it to my mechanic when I gave him the clutch to be installed and he didn't give it back... hopefully they aren't expensive or one of my friends might have one I could borrow.

anyway, after that, I gotta either pull the oil pan off (again) unbolt the retainer, take the seal out, replace it, put the retainer back in, but the oil pan back on, put the clutch and flywheel back on, put the tranny back in, and put everything else back in and should be good to go. that's the "recommended way", the not-so-recommended way is to ot take the oil pan off, and just pull the seal out with a screwdriver or something. I think I'll try that first and if it isn't super easy then I pull off the oil pan.

so, yeah, I plan on working it friday after school, saturday after work, and sunday before I see my girlfriend, and hopefully I can get it done in that amount of time (knowing me, it's unlikely)

it goes in the downpipe. The downpipe I got came with two openings for O2 sensors (the main and seconday) and I took my downpipe to 30 minute muffler and they welded on another bung so I had 3 so I could also plug in my wideband.

I went to both 30 minute and livermore muffler and they both said they can't weld on cast iron so they both recommended me to this blacksmith place on portola and they guy said he didn't know if he could weld it on or not.

btw, I ran my car with turbo for about 20 minutes without the second o2 sensor installed and I never even threw any CELs. the car did run smoother after I plugged it in though.
