Well as most of you probably know, my tranny needs to be rebuilt after a differential failure that took out my ring gear and dumped the shredded contents of the differential into my pan. So I thought I would start a thread that shows the progress, slow as it may be.

My philosophy is simple. Make as best as I possibly can financially and knowledgeably can. The simple fact is that I have some goals in mind with regards to fuel economy, durability and performance and I hope to get most of that done through this process.

So with that, here are some pictures of the tear down. Im going to sticky this so I can track the progress here for all to see. I dont know how long it will take to be honest. I still need to find a cherry picker and a couple of engine stands. Once I get those I can put stuff out.






Here you can see just how anal I am. Ive labeled just about everything. But the harness more so that I can hopefully re-wire things to be more neat. We'll see how that works out.















I need to drain the fluids out then I can pull the LIM and radiator. I guess Im going to have to discharge the AC system. Not really wanting to do that, but it has to come off.

Thats it for now. I'll post more as I get stuff done.
