There are two in my garage that both shift great that I paid less than $100 for. Is there something I missed here? Not to mention the one I gave to a friend and the other I traded for what I cant remember....so thats 4 that have found their way into my parts shed in the last two years.
Once you have the auto driveshaft, slave and the flywheel/pressureplate/clutch it takes about 2 hours to throw in. Even ghetto style on the ground. So I guess that I consider that Just throwing it in. On a lift I can do it in less than an hour so yeah throw it in. Its one of the easiest na mods there is.

You dont need to be a jerk just becuse I disagree with you. You take things way to personal. I know your just a young kid but really. grow up.

Just like your 50+ motor teardowns and you've seen that nothing is galvanized?

If you make it sound like it's all that easy I really wouldn't let you near my car with a wrench. I'd like to see you remove and install a new flywheel with basic hand tools. Actually I don't think generic wrench sets come with a 54mm?
I'd LOVE to see you do a TII tranny swap along with flywheel in less than an hour.

There's a difference between disagreeing and not knowing what you are talking about.

This is what I said.
"Also, not one of the 50+ engines where I have taken the hose off that nipple had a plated nipple."
I said plated......Galvinzed and plated metals have very different characteristics. I was referring to "gold cadmium plating" which I have never seen on that part untill I saw Penegru's new mazda plates.

Now that I am without air I use my 1 inch socket and breakerbar with a 4 foot extension. I welded up a brace that holds the engine in place and use the sst to hold the flywheel. It comes off with as much effort as you would put into a lugnut.
When your a mechanic that gets paid by the job and not by the hour you learn to work fast. Trannys are what we call gravy. Why....becuse a good mechanic gets it done quicker than the alloted time. Then you move on to the next job and beat the clock agian. I worked this way as a mechanic for 1 year and worked by the hour for 3 years before that. If you dont think I know how to wrench thats your loss.

I bought a flawless t2 drivetrain for $250 with mounts and slave/shifter everything. And yes I took the transmission to reputable tranny shop and had it opened infront of me. Bigturbo74 got a t2 tranny for $100 also. It does happen. Gmon has atleast 10 motors apart in his basement currently. Gmon does have plenty experience, in some areas a lot more than me...

"It fails to show through is many of his posts."
