Removed trans, waiting on Level 4 M6...
Well, I pulled my tranny out in alittle under an hour and a half. Very easy and straight forward. My tranny always had a leak on the front side of the case which I found out was a leaking front main seal. The procedure was very easy, load the car up on some jackstands, drop the rear carrier, tilt it down to the reference point and wala. Removing the pin in the shift lever was a PITA but easy with a small jewelers screwdriver.
I ended up ordering a Level 4 M6 from Rodney, it's with UPS and should be here this weekend. I'll finish up the install monday and be at the track friday getting ready for the world cup finals. :)
