Be sure to use some good quality ball joints too, I have read about some cheap ones failing on here.
That's some skills you have there tearing into the tranny.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Mike!
I am very fortunate to have him to press in those ball joints, it definitely would have taken me a while longer myself. As for the balljoints, and most of the steering components, I'm using Moog, so hopefully they hold up.
I cant take all the credit for the tranny, I'm doing most of it myself, but i have guidance from my professor. Im doing it at school. It is awesome to learn though, and they are not as complicated or hard to rebuild as i though it would be!
