FINALLY put new page up
Finally put the page up detailing swapping an SA transmission into the FB.
http://www.geocities.com/izzmus/trans/trans.html
About 1.5 megs of pictures and HTML, so Geocities will freak if more than four people view the page per hour, but the pictures are pretty good.
I have about 160 more pictures of the swap, but that'd just be rediculous.

Lemme know and I'll give ya more info.

Sounds interesting. I am all ears.
I have lots more stuff that I've never put to webpage because of restrictive size/bandwidth limits.

Paint? Who has time to paint? The car rolled into a friend's garage at about 2pm and rolled back out around 6 or 7pm. Painting would require spending a few hours cleaning and prepping, a few more hours painting, letting it dry overnight... and it'd also require me giving a crap.
Why? Because i could. I frankly think the gears in the '83-up trannies are **** because they are fine pitch. Plus the bearings were LOUD, and it was quite difficult to shift into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The SA trans, though having similar miles, and about 100 1/4mi passes and lots of abuse, was(is) still quiet and shifts like a hot knife through butter. And the clutch was slipping pretty badly anyway. And the '80 trans has a more useable 5th gear, the engine is right in the meat of the torque curve on the highway, no more downshifting to maintain at least 3500. And 1-3 are marginally lower as well. Did I mention that it didn't sound like it had 40 grit gear lube?
