Well, i drove 8hr round trip to NJ yeasterday to pick up transmission(those of u don't know why, here is the link). picked up used T-45 with 22000miles for 250bucks. came with Pro5.0 Shifter(which i think its missing some parts, as it don't have any spring). i still have to order clutch, which i'm doing tomorrow. Think i'm going with SPEC stg 2.
So i took off - header, H-pipe, starter. To get that off, i had to remove K-member, and i took off A-arm to lose some weight off of K-member.
So i dissassembled interior to get the shifter out, i drained fluid, driveshaft is off.

So really only thing left is start taking blown tranny out. So i got out from under the car to smoke, while tranny is draining, and looked around my garage, and suddenly got this realization that i have soooo much 5**** everywhere in my garage, and suddenly i'm extremely nervous if i can get all this crop back together!!!...

now, my GF is screaming at me to clean this crop up

Oh there is one good thing - While i was picking up Tranny, guy had sooo much crop that he wanted to get rid of(he had 10.36 sec fox with Capri rear fender, 11.6 sec 2001GT, and bought another 2001GT that he just bought. he need to sell crop to make room for it. lol) He had 03 Crate motor sitting there, he had 2(yes TWO) TKO - 1 is 500, other is 600 sitting there, mountain of slicks, cams he don't even know howmuch header he have, and 4 Aluminum driveshaft. Which i bought one for 75bucks..

well, I spent past 4hours pn the one stinkin' bolt. it wont move. at all. I tried impact gun, braker bar, wrench, hammer, i even used wrench and applying torque with floor jack(thats about 600ft-lb). noting works. One stinking bolt....

I'm not sure what to do now. Its to the point where only viable option is to take the engine and tranny out of the car to get to it....

donno....
