| So, my transmission shit the bed about 15 minutes ago, this goes out to all Madison area guys who are willing to lend me a hand doing a five speed swap, thankfully I've been parts hoarding and already have the parts... Hoping to start on Friday and have it done by Monday | |

| 5spd swap it not that bad. Pretty straight foward. Just make sure you get the clutch pedal holes drilled rite and you're good. Everything else is just bolting on. If you need, I've got the 5spd clutch pedal and brake pedal. Come pick them up if you want. | |

| the pedals are easy, i have a nice trick. You will need some bolts to do it my way. Is there a hardware store in town open on Sat? | |

| Good news and bad news, it seems it was just that the PS axle shaft popped out of the CV joint (good news!), but now I have to figure out how to get the damn CV shaft out of the hub (as there is nothing to stop it from spinning) so I can get it back on the axle. | |

| And now I've cracked the bearing cage. Damn. | |

| Okay, this is pissing me off. Here is my theory, the PS axle shaft popped out, which essentially killed my car as it has an open diff, but, it also fucked up the splines in the bearing cage, so I can't just pop the axle back on. I am also unable to get the CV joint out of the hub because there is nothing giving resistance to the torque applied to the axle nut. The ONLY thing I can think of doing is removing the entire hub, putting the bell-end of the CV joint in a bench vise, but I'm not sure if that would be able to hold it even. | |

| And of course it is the simple solution that works, long story short is I'm and idiot and forgot that my car has wheels. Put wheel on, take axle nut off. | |

| Are you ok? What do you need then? Is the hub ok? Just need a new bearing? I can come over around noon or shortly after tomorrow and stay until when ever. | |
