It's peanutbutter tranny time!

Day 4.

First up we got the right size bolts to attach the engine to the stand so it can be worked on. At $4 a pop they'd better be the best bolts ever!

Engine standy goodness.

Time to take the transmission out. All afternoon under the car after we got it completely up on jacks, wheels off the ground. Bolts so covered in shite you can't tell they're bolts type of thing and transmission fluid like black treacle. With all the black goop falling on my head I've eaten my daily allowance of engine grease today. Mmm yum. At one point Claire was in the engine bay (not a comfy spot to be sitting!) and me and Jeff were under the car trying to maneuver this thing out. We had the engine hoist out 4 times today! Should have just left it up!  But the tranny is out and the wheels are off. Progress has been made and a quick test suggests we have a limited slip differential which is good apparently.

Heap o' tyres.

Mahoosive hole where transmission used to be..

The beast itself.
