this must be the longest gearbox swa in history. But because of how badly I function in this weather I only get a few hours in the morning to tackle it.
Tried taking the crossmember out that supports the gearbox this morning got all the bolts out inside the car and 3 of the 4 underneath but the 4th one just will not budge.
By this point I was all hot and bothered and had to call it a day. Will have to take this problem tomorrow.
Bring back the colder weather!!!!!!!!!

Finally got the new gearbox in today
Got to get used to the new gearbox as it isn't as 'sloppy' as the old one (don't have to go fishing for a gear
).
Also on this box I don't have to lift the gearstick for reverse. That really will take some getting used to.

I like the sun long as I can spend the day drinking cold beers not working on the car
