This thread is for jason on the forums... He's going to need help dropping his tranny in order to get the front dif replaced. Neither myself, Jake, or Jason are familiar with this job. But he is trying to avoid paying the money to have it removed and put back in...limiting labor costs to a shop for just the dif work. So maybe pED or Kingrex (steven) might be able to help out... Anyone else tried this themselves? We're looking at doing this either the next weekend 28-29th or 5-6th, but that will be finalized if we can get some help. :bowdown:
I can probably get over to help out some of the time. I won't be able to do the 28th or the 6th though. Best thing I can tell you is to find the how-to on Subymods.com and from the service manual and print it out. There's nothing too hard about it, other than lifting/dropping the tranny while laying on your back (unless you're planning on getting a tranny jack) --> Harbor Freight FTW! PM when you decide which weekend and I'll see if I can't get over there.
you will save some money by doing it yourself. unfortunately for me everytime i do something at home it usually costs more money and pain in the arse to get it running. cuz i have to buy the right tools and get beer and food for the help.
Hey thanks Keegan, I could use some help. I just never got around to posting up. Im good on all the tools. I could use your Tranny jack, Mike. We will get a date set to do it.
im down for this as i might be doing an engine swap in the near future. we'll get jason's tranny outta the way first and then i'll worry about gettin a group together to do a hybrid and swap it in.
Its not that bad. Flips came out and went back in in one night when we did his clutch. Should be comparable
I would like to do it the first weekend in may (5-5,5-6). I'm open to any weekend. I just need to know when everybody is available. Mike, let me know a date thats good for you, and we will make it happen. Everyone says your the man I need.
hey jason can you make it to andretti tonight...jake and i will be there...and we could all figure out a date for the tranny drop with mike.
Jason, you now I'm down after finals. My last two finals are on the 7th, so anytime after that I'm good. Also, call up billy ocean and see when he can help, since he's done one before.
Yeah Im gonna try to go with you guys. Steven. that would be cool if you could come. Billy ocean(Mike) Is always busy for some reason. So we'll see about him.
OK I'm shooting for the 12th of May to get this done. The guys that can help, please chime in and let me know if this date is OK.
I could come, but it would have to be after work. By that time you'll probably be done. I'll just give you a call that evening and see.
You guys gotta post some picatures. Not like I can't find a tranny drop on Nabisco or something but.... it'd be cooler to see my Atlanta boys doin it. And remember to have a beer or two for me.
hey guys i replaced my clutch with the help of ped. here's a link i used to help me... http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2081 i also downloaded the subaru tech. manual for my 02 bugeye as well... but i can't find the link right now. i would stop by and help, but i no longer live in ATL. hope this helps!
^^ Thanks man. there is some good info in that Thread. I still planning on doing it the 12th or 13th.
