    If everything is ready to go in how long should it take to swap a transmission. With possibly using a car lift?

    i did mine in about 1.5 hrs with hand tools and a lift. Of course making sure fluids are filled and clutch parts (assuming you have a manual) are lined up. If you take out the trans mount it will give you that little extra room you need to get to the top bolts on the trans

    I don't drink but I'm sure my brother will want cold beer hah. So is it pretty straight forward. Just unbolt it from the motor an mount pull the driveline out and drop it. Any tips for doing it?
