I was informed that I need to take out my motor/transmission to get to the bent forks. Post some help if you have it.

as far as i know, you can just take out the transmission by itself and u should have access to the fork.

take off exhaust system
loosen the bolts from the engine side and the drive shaft side, remove drive shaft....once youre in the tranny ready to take it off, wiggle it and it should come loose...

see whats wrong with the fork, then when everytying is done, do the reverse process....
have fun putting the tranny back in, lol. mine wouldnt line up to the center. took me me and my friends 20-30 minutes to get it in there.

Ok, I guess I'm just taking the transmission out, but it will be hard to get it back in there. That's the part I'm afriad I won't be able to do.

and you think pulling out the engine will be easier?

Have at it.. if your doing it on the ground just make sure you can get the car jacked up as high as you can.I have axcess at my friends shop towards Brandon but that wont be till the weekend,

I will look for that fork for you also.

I took out the motor/transmission last weekend in about 4 hours. First time it's ever been out of the car. Discovered I have a oil cooler. Cleaned the entire motor/transmission and took out A/C. I'm replacing the fork this weekend, so anyone that has a spare shifter fork, please PM me.
