So after looking all day I decided to buy an 05 transmission with clutch and flywheel and throw it in my 02. Looking for people who want to help, probably on a Saturday. Trans should be here in a week. I will pay in (good) beer and pizza! I have a few mechanically inclined friends helping out, but no one that has actually done it before. You probably wouldnt need to do much besides advise, unless you want to. It would be much appreciated and I would owe you a huge favor.

Thanks,

J

 

never done it before? youre in for some fun if the trans hasnt been out. biggest hint you can use: big pry bars and lots of pb blaster for the dowel pins. they are very easy trannys to remove if they have been out before, but if not those pins are a mofo to seperate.

 

Where are you located if your not to far ill come by im no expert but i know my way around the these cars

 

05 Axles are Not the same..I think 02-04 Had pins.u prolly gonna need 05 axles

 

What u talking bout, I'm talking about the engine dowel pins.

 

Where are you at??

 

Im not talking about engine dowel pins,Im talking about The axles..05 and up are different than 02

 

oh the axles pins, cant you just use your hair extensions on that andy? ))))))

 

I can help, I've done automatic and manual swaps. I also got a few tools. Where you at?

If the tranny hasn't been swapped before, you're going to need mallets and you'd be banging like hell slipping putty kinfes inbetween the shortblock and the transmssion bell housing.
