Default Tranny Swap

Starting the swap of my automatic transmission tomorrow. Car is a 98 coupe. Ive done this b4 a couple times on my Camaros but I was wondering if there were any words of advice out there. Couldnt find any tech articles or previous posts so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Need two people to do it. You should invest in service manuals for the best and needed detail. There is quite a bit of detail that if you miss will cause big time agg. Need a couple of trans jacks and watch the motor busting the firewall up. I would up grade/rebuild the torgue tube while you are in there. Good luck

I know of no how-to on this,so if you document it with pictures,it will surely help out other members in the future........if you have the time

I plan on doing exactly that later, when I upgrade my trans

Good luck
