dummy Muncie Q...

output shaft seal leaking. I remember long ago pulling the Muncie from my '69 Z-28 was a piece of cake. First Vette, tho. What's involved in getting it out of a '73? Looks to me like the crossmember is factory welded in. Thanks.

Note: It would be a good time to change the + battery cable (you'll see what I mean when you get the trans out. Replace the transmission tunnel insulation too.

Duke, Thanks a bunch. Doesn't sound much harder than my Camaro. Other than getting it high enough off the ground.

I did mine 2 weeks ago and the shifter removal and install was the hardest part. Have fun. Volvette.com had some good prices on the trans mount, tunnel insulation, shifter boot. I also purchased the tunnel foam insulation 1/2 ring but it was a pia to get on, if you want to install this I would recommend taking the bellhousing off and then positioning the ring.
