Im interested in this as well. I tried taking my old one out and ended chipping half the aluminum off the top of it. Still never managed to get it out.

You can remove the bellhousing and push it out from inside. It's not as big of a deal as you might think to do this.

A lot of the time the old transmission is not resellable. 200k+, grinding, 5th gear popping out, etc....

its only got either 115k or 140k miles on it...i have 2 cars over 100k and i cant remember which is which off the top of my head

all of the gears shift smooth and 5th gear has never popped out for me.

it was owned by an older doctor...then a guy who just didnt even try to fix it (no oil to head problem)...then a guy who tryed and cudnt fix it...then me...i only drove it for a few thousand miles....and i only whaled on it a few times..i was more worried about blowing an oil seal and it leaking again then i was driving it really fast

115k? That sounds like a transmission worth saving.
