I went to a party last night after work and got there fine. Its been making grinding noises for some time now but this morning when I left the place it finally decided to have a hard time engaging into Drive and doesnt go into 3rd maybe even 2nd gear anymore. I took 4 people home before I started heading home myself which was about 15 miles away, all while driving no faster than 25mph at 3000rpm. Every stop light I was at made it even harder and harder to take off.
I start work in a couple of hours and I didnt sleep at all thinking what my options are. Unless I can find replacement tranny locally Im probably going to do the 5 speed swap and get the parts off my turbo. Im thinking off calling in so I can get some sleep and get started when I wake up.
Do I absolutely need a tranny jack or is it light enough to lift up and slide in?
Is there a write up WITH pictures on the swap? Also how hard is it unbolting it from the engine?
Pulling the engine with it isnt really an option because I dont have a cherry picker.
Thanks for any input.
