I would call you gay in response but I do love what you've done with your avitar! :laughing:
Just for that I might change it to a fat guy with man boobs doing the same motion.
Has anyone else noticed that we're limited to a 9KB avatar while some people :::COUGH::SPENCER::COUGH:::
have an avatar that exceeds 500KB?? I vote we all get to increase the size of our avatars! (for a second there, that sounds like one of the SPAM emails I get often... "Are you not satisfied with the size of your ..." )

haha!funny..

anyways i just got back from my storage unit, picked up my spare trans..

old (cooked) trans specs:

9A (8v close ratio)
FD: 3.67
1st: 3.45
2nd: 2.12
3rd: 1.44
4th: 1.13
5th: .89

new (good) trans specs:

AGB (16v close ratio)
FD: 3.67
1st: 3.45
2nd: 2.12
3rd: 1.44
4th: 1.13
5th: .91

so over all i dont gain much at all. i will actually raise my 3800rpm in 5th @75mph to around 4000rpm @75mph

Yeah, Mike gave me a lesson in how to do it. :o I guess the 9KB limit only applies to avatars uploaded to the site. If you use one from a remote location, you can go much larger! :thumbsup:

NOW BACK ON TOPIC! ;)

no way then you gotta mess with exhaust, fuel lines, vacuum lines, wiring harnesses, power steering.

all i did was put the motor on a jack, pull the front end, cv's, shift linkage, front and tranny mounts, and whalla.. tranny out. the hard part is putting the new one back in. sucked to get the bellhousing over the flywheel :banghead:

new trans is working like a charm :thumbsup:
