tips for w58 removal and instalation

[gaboonviper85]

I'm purchaseing a w58 from a member and we this is only the 3rd trans ive ever removed and only the second rwd....ive searched and found some good advice but was wondering anybody could add some things? I'm not putting a new clutch in cause mine feels fine and doesn't slip at all.. I'm just looking for as much info as possible so I don't get any suprised cause the last time I removed a trans from a toyota the plate and springs on the shift stick just fell appart from rust and ended up costing me $200 for a new stick assem from toyota...

So again anybody who has some w58 stories to tell please share your experience.

Thanks

w58? Pfff......

My celica had one of those.



In all honesty, the w58 is an easy transmission to take out. Just remember to drain it first.

If you have a hard time putting the tranny back on slightly jack up the front of the engine so it is easier to slide the tranny in.

When I pulled mine I had to raise the back of the motor to get the bellhousing all the way off.
