tools for tranny swap?

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

You should have no problems swapping those. Make sure you do the clutch
while you're in there, unless the existing is of known quality. Tranny
bushings are $5 - do those too.

You'll need:   11mm socket and 10mm socket (various bell housing bolts,
speedo cable), 8mm allen (I think - starter bolts (I have also seen starter
bolts with a 10mm-12pt/triple-square), 17mm allen (tranny drain plug),
9mm-12pt socket (flywheel), 8mm 12-pt/triple-square (CV bolts), 17mm socket
(pressure plate, multiple engine mounts), torque wrench, 17mm and 19mm combo
wrenches, bailing wire/coat hanger (securing of PP).

1) Take transmission mount off bell housing before trying to remove tranny
(I'm pretty sure the Bentley says you get by without doing this, but I will
NEVER go that route again).

2) triple-check to make sure speedo cable and linkage is completely free
(don't ask me how I know)

Anything else?  :)
