My tranny crapped out on me and I just got my "new" one today. Does anyone have a lift I could use to do the swap? And can anyone help me actually do it? I don't have the money right now to take it to a shop, or to even pay someone to help, but I can get pizza/drinks/whatnot for anyone willing to lend a hand. If anyone can help at all please PM me and I'll get my number to you. Thanks guys.

Yeah, might just end up having to do that. Someone with experience would still be cool though haha. I don't even know what all I need...

yep. pm shaunv74.

did you get the std tranny or the 09 model? was it free on warranty or what?

I got a used standard tranny. Couldn't find any '09s and couldn't afford a new one. And nope, no warranty unfortunately.

Be careful to accurately set the powerplant frame to the correct height above the cross member on the install. I would bug Charles R. Hill about the complexities of this procedure.

Also, handle the glass drive shaft with ultimate care once you remove it. Kid gloves are required.

how much are they used and new? are they covered under the 100k/8yr warranty or no?

The car is at Clover Park right now. I have a buddy who's going there doing it for me. It should be done by Thursday. Gonna cost me a whopping $32...
