man it is so easy! if you have a 14mm socket, 14mm wrench, some extenions, a uni joint, and a few other wrenches and sockets, a jack and some stands, you can do it in few days… its as simple as putting everything back in that you put took out… maybe even take pics so you dont forget… i did the clutch in my silvia (similar to changing trannys, its gotta come out to get the clutch) it took me 5 hours, to do everything… yes, im a techninian by trade, but you can and could do it in a few hours… or you could drive to cal and i could help you do it in a night! ---

> [@Hot\_Wheelz](#): > > yea well ive never done a tranny swap b4 so im kinda looking for someone with a bit more experiance in the matter… anyone ? I could help if you want. I do probably 3-5 trannies a month at work both FWD and RWD. The book time on my cavalier was 4 hours :roll: But I did it in 5.
