    A big thanks to Rick for helping me get the tranny in. I still have to hook everything else up but all the heavy lifting is done.



    thanks again.

    back out to the garage to finish the install.


    I hope it stays in gear or I'll be swapping it out again today.

    I have been running full boost on the stock 5mt for a couple of weeks now. :eek:hnoes: I figured I had back ups (the ppg tranny and my original out of the svx) and whole bunch of extra gears to fix Ricks transmission that was in the car if it broke.

    Worked over at Rick's most of the day and didn't get it all back together. I have to put the downpipe in and bolt up the axel and I'll be done. I am too tired to finish now so "ll get it done tommorow. I have moved on to Firefly so I shouldn't be anywhere near a wrench anyways.

    Lol, tried that stuff...not so good. I'll stick to my Captain Morgans. Let me know how it turns out. Anxious to see if things worked out.

    Took it for a drive and everything seems fine. There is slightly more gear noise than a stock 5mt but alot less than the 5mt that was in my car. Also I think the obx diff makes a little more noise on decel than stock or maybe thats the gears too.


    The pull in first and second is freaking amazing. :naughty:

    The gears are actually useful to me unlike 1st and 2nd were in my old 6 speed.
