Does anyone know where I could find a good how-to on rebuilding a tranny in a 3rd gen? I tried to search on it but couldn't find anything about how-to's.

I'm diving in to it tonight and could use any pointers I can get.

I heard once you get going replacing the synchros is farely simple...

tranny's are easy if you have the right tools

i think the only tools you need are the gear puller and whatever regular tools right? what other tools would you need?

What I'm looking for is a psuedo step-by-step procedure if anyone knows where I can find one. I saw one about 8 or 9 months ago, but I can't find it now.

It seems like I remember reading about how there were certain steps to take before others to avoid pulling a shaft out inside of the case causing all of the internals to end up like a box of fruit loops.

If you are planning on working on the car, do yourself a favor and get the FSM.

One bit of advice. When you get to the 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th gear sets take your time on disassembly to see how the dogs are lined up with the slots on the inner surface of the shift rings. This will be important later when you attempt to reassemble. If you do not have them properly aligned you will have shift problems. The manual does not address this very clearly. As for tools, you will need a bearing puller with a long *** reach for the first major bearing that you encounter. Most people have managed to devise their own pullers. After that you can move along pretty well. Oh, and you will also need a press to press gear hubs on and off the main shaft.
