[mammen]

Just doing a transmission swap on my 92 paseo, gotta rebuilt tranny from my brother so trying to swap that in. Not sure if you have any tutorials or step by steps on here. Any links or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Be sure to support the motor with an engine hoist or jack.
Drain trans befor you remove the axles.
replace main motor seal and trans axle seals while your in there.
should take about 3 hours to do the long part is the draining of the trans.

Actually at the shop when we pull the driver corner mount we lower the engine slowly and let it rest with the balancer against the frame and 1 mount above that holding it. Makes for proper angle to slide trans in/out of frame and on/off engine.
