You know how Carl is with the rules in the special section.

Umm, trans got shipped thursday so maybe today or tomorrow it'll show but I don't have a tracking so I have no clue really.

feel free to look back through my posts in that thread about staying on topic. it is not to be taken personally.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Nor am I taking it personally, I know thats your "job"

 

[justanothermp5]

sweet, so the engine is already out of the car ready to get the trans on right?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Hell no. I already put the rebuilt one in, I'm not taking it out. Much easier just to pop the trans off, that can be done in a day easy.

 

[justanothermp5]

oh ok lol i would have taken the whole engine back out
hopefully this one doesnt blow like the last one

whatever happened to the last one anyways?

dropping the trans without the engine really isn't that hard... not worth the extra work. the last one was old. LOL

 

[xDJ DUBx]

yeah, the other trans was breaking 200k plus blown mounts so yeah. Currently its still in the car. lol

 

[protegericky]

so it was you're transmissions fault for everything? or engine also?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

nah, engine went out due to vics failure.

 

[protegericky]

[xDJ DUBx]

The vics's holes got stretched so they detached themselves from the IM then started breaking off into the engine.

sweet thanks i learned something today least from the first link.
ill read the other one after work. but damn that sucks...well now you got a new engine lol

 

[justanothermp5]

wait, so the trans doesnt work or what?
my trans has over 200K on it lol its still goin strong

Trans is easy to drop out and replace without touching the motor. Just watch the outer axle boot when your putting the trans back in. I would just take it out until you put it in, it likes to rub as you're lifting the trans by the frame.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

I know how to do it, I already did it when we dropped in the rebuilt engine.

After work today I went over to the car to put the exhaust back on but then my gf hit me up so after hanging out with her, I didn't feel like doing it anymore, plus I was running out of daylight. My motor mounts also got shipped this morning.

Oh, and my motor mounts arrived this afternoon. LOL.

 

[mzspeed14.0]

gimmie that rear MM, i trashed another one and they are such a b!tch to replace. Buying a motor mount is like paying someone to kick your ass. Nice to see you didnt get rid of your ride buddy (rei)

 

[ucMP3]

Where did you buy your AWR mounts from, Dub?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Through Sam @ Cross0ver, $409 shipped

 

[mp3-79bronco]
