thanks for the reply, I live in Naperville. I recently bought a Don Stanley TSI AOD with a manual vavle body and it came with a 2800 stall. The only problem is i need to put it in! I also have a B&M trans cooler. Let me know if you can help me out.

I also see you have a gt-40 motor. I just put one in and am having a little problem tunning it. Let me know about the trans. THANKS

Do you have anytools???.. Jack, and jack stands? I am sure i can lend a hand or too. But it wont be this weekend... You have all of the parts right??

Yeah i can get a hold of a good jack and jackstands. This other guy is supposed to help me this week but If i dont get it in this week I will let you know because I could use the help. Thanks a lot.

yeah no problem, it is really easy. Just remember to pull of all of the electrical plugs. Dont forget to pull out the speedo cable aswell. To start u need to put the car on jack stands mark the drive shaft where it attaches to the rear end so that when u put it back in you dont have problems with it being out of balance. If it were me i would drain the tranny fluid so when u pull out the drive shaft u dont take a bath in tranny fluid. Next you have to drop the h-pipe. Dont forget to unplug the 02's and smog tube. Then drop the crossmember. Take out the starter and unplug as well and the rest is pretty much simple make sure u have somthing supporting the tranny so u dont break ur arm when it comes out. I usually us the hydro. floor jack so i can roll it around jack up under the tranny but put a peice of wood inbetween the jack and the tranny case so u dont damage it. jack it up till u make contact. then loosen the bolts. On the tranny i think 9/16 or 5/8 not to sure..... then slowly pull on the tranny and let it rest on the jack. Make sure you have the car nice and high other wise ur going to have more problems you wont be able to get the tranny out from underneath the car.....

well that sums most of it up...
it is pretty simple like i said just make sure you unconnect all of the plugs....


later and have fun

thanks a lot for the help i appreciate it. I will hopefully be able to do it this week if this guy has time to help me out. How long do you think it will take? I am not a mechanic but i have done things like my full exhaust, intake, injectors, ect....the easy stuff. Thanks again

i'd say the whole process should take about 5hrs but depending how fast u work
