Tranny

Heading out to the garage to replace the clutch right now.  Have to have flywheel to Flag engine and machine by eight tomorrow morning.  Wish me luck!  I might check in periodically.

Also rented a kick-butt tranny jack.

News headline: &nbsp;&quot;Lone mechanic brutatlly beats Nissan engineer.&quot; &nbsp;I was up til 4:30 last night, and could not get the two top tranny to engine bolts. &nbsp;THey are in possibly the most inaccessible position I have ever seen. &nbsp;Have bought a 2&quot; hole saw and will be boring through firewall to loosen bolts from inside. &nbsp;I'll let you guys know, but OMF%^&amp;G, I am pissed.

Also, being I haven't let the clutch slip into major disrepair, I'm thinking about not resurfacing the flywheel, should it look decent. &nbsp;The clutch isn't slipping in normal driving, so I know the rivets haven't started scaping the flywheel, thus it should be fine. &nbsp;Normally, I'd do it anyway, but Flag engine and machine is now closed, and don't want to put the truck back together the night before I leave for home. &nbsp;Comments?

tranny is finally out. &nbsp;$%^&amp;#&amp;!! &nbsp;Two huge holes in cab. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;I think whoever wrecked it before didn't put the engine mounts in exactly the right place, cause it was a bitch.
