This will be the second time this year I've taken this transmission out. Aside from the extra work of removing the subframe, - which I've been needing to do anyway to install all new bushings - it's not too terrible of a job. I can't say it's the easiest transmission job I've done though. When I was in my teens and 20's, I had a series of Dodge Daytonas, and I must have dropped those transmissions 7-8 times at least. I timed myself once after having done the job a few times, and from the time I put the car in the driveway until the time I had the transmission on the ground was 45 minutes. I even put one of those transmissions back in the car once without a jack; not something I could do these days. I sure wish I had a transmission jack, I rent them when I can't get the job done without one. I once saw an insert that would fit a standard floor jack, but couldn't afford it and never saw one again.
Do you still have your old transmission? I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a bad transmission if you need to get rid of it. Best of luck on your project, I know how my back feels after crawling around under my car for a day or two and I'm only 33. Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to replace the heater core on my '88 Volvo 740, since I'll need to drive that for at least a week until my transmission can get fixed. I've already taken everything apart, I just have to get the heater box open, do the swap, and remember how to put it all back together. Once that's all done, I'll start on the Saab. I'd like to have the Volvo done, and the Saab's transmission on the ground before dinner on Sunday.
