i just blew my auto trans and am going to swap in the 5spd. i got all the parts need but i have a question as to what driveshaft to use. i will be keeping the stock auto rear end with the 5spd tranny, so i would use the 5spd driveshaft right?

next question, the upperbolt on my starter just spins and does not come out. am i going to need to get this bolt out some how, or can i pull the auto trans with out removing the starter? i dont care if i damage the flywheel or anything related to the auto transmission, as long as it wont harm anything else. if i do need to get the starter out how should i get that bolt out? cut it with a torch?

and this is all for an 89 n/a

 

As I recall, It's held in with a nut on the other end. Crack that nut (buy a nut cracker, they're worth it)

You need to remove the starter to pull the tranny.

 

You would need the 5 speed drive shaft, i have an extra one PM me if you need it. There is a nut on the other side you can see it form the top if you look hard, I cut it off befor i found out that there was a nut. IT is a really long bolt you have to reach way back.

 

I tried to get that bolt off for a good hour before i gave up and cut it off with a sawzall.

 

thanks alot guys for not flaming me. let this thread die now.
