I'm working on swapping my trans out cause my current one went bad. It's been a pain in the ass since my exhaust was welding and is 1 piece from the headers to the tail pipes. (stupid muffler shop not putting any flanges in)

So after cutting a section so i can drop the passenger side header I'm workin on taking out the trans. Now i've done trans swaps before along w/ swappin my other car to a manual, but i dont see any play for moving the driftshaft when i go to pull the tranny out. On my other cars there was always something bolted to the rear end that u can unbolt and drop down and pull the shaft but i dont see anything but the U-joints on this one.

Any tips are appreciated. I just need to get the swap done asap cause I'm moving to Florida for 4 months on saturday and i need this drivable lol.

I'm pretty sure it's a c4 trans.

Thanks,

-Joe

There should be 2 U-bolts with 4 nuts that you can unbolt to drop the driveshaft out.

Dittto, look for these on the rear joint. Remove the bolts and nuts, push the shaft forward, off the yoke, then remove from the transmission
