car on stands finally!

[Zupercharged28]

so my Z is on stands in my buddys garage. i had to drive the poor thing there with only 1st and 2nd gear so i didnt go above 25. we are pulling out the transmission today and i was wondering how many quarts will my trans take? ive got my new stall ready to go in as well and that thing is EMPTY! anything else i shoudl know about?

[koolaid_kid]

Not sure how much the tranny holds, but put 1 quart into the stall prior to installing it. After you get it running, it will need another 1-2 quarts extra.

[CKJ]

For some reason i seem to want to say the tranny/converter holds 7 quarts total.

[Zupercharged28]

it turned out to be 9 quarts with the convertor. the lady at the autozone told us 6... i have the feeling she was sent there to sabatoge my transmission. i was driving my baby allll day it is sooo nice to have her back. the stall is a little crazy but its nice to drive! thanks guys

[Grims]

Did she drive a mustang?

[Zupercharged28]

i dunno. i laughing to hard to ask her... she was pissed when i told her it was 9. but ive broken it in and it breaks loose up till 50 WITH the new 315's on the rear. thanks again guys

I told yall 3 months .. whos betting me .. i could use the extra money to make a lil more power before the mod drags :lol:

[Zupercharged28]

no way on the 3 months. i almost killed her tonight. i got soooooo lucky im never road racing again. EVER.

[Transamman25]

just waiting for tomorrow's thread .. my camaro vs 95 GT .. i kicked his ass then my tranny blew .. again
:lol:

[Zupercharged28]

haha naaa more like tonights, 95 z vs guard rail.... i kicked my bumper covers asssssss.... and my tires too! :D all is well i have connections to fix it for cheap. and it gives me a reason for a little paint here and there. damn sumitomos get NO traction until they decide to kick

[Grims]

Someone screwed my front bumper a few months back, I even have a credit somewhere to have it repainted for free...but I can't be without my car for any amount of time, and he wants it for two days.

[Transamman25]

Days ?? hell no .. ive heard leave it with me stories the build up to "and when i got my car back it had 300 miles on it and my buddies saw it driving around!" .. no keys .. stay with the vehicle .. at all costs

[Grims]

Last time I left it I logged the miles, and set the rev limiter at 2k.

A month later when I got it back I pleased to see it had only 1/4th a mile on it...most likely from going in and out of the paint booth.

[Zupercharged28]

well my friend will be painting it. and he helped install the new trans so i told him he could drive it once in a while... to pick up chicks. of course. i told him hed need me in the car to do that though...

[Grims]

I take the bike if I wanna pick up chicks...I'm not much into mullets on girls.

[96slow6]

i love a good mullet.:mullet:

how difficult was it to drop the tranny without taking it out of the car? i have my new LT1 connected to an A4 sitting hte garage and i still havnt been able to disconnect it. my buddy said that you have to turn the flywheel, take out a bolt, turn it again, take out a bolt, with a total of 6 bolts. this must have been a nightmare to do with the tranny in the car still no?

[Zupercharged28]

naa it really wasnt that hard. it took us a total of like 6 hours to drop the old one and put in the new one. you need to disconnect the driveshaft and everything, then the mounts and whatnot. but theres only 3 screws on the flywheel and 4 on the case. its not too bad at all! that was with 3 guys working on it. smaller hands help too because you have to sit on your motor and reach behind it to get some of the screws out.

[bufmatmuslepants]

i got the 4 on the case off but how do you get the 3 off the flywheel?

[Zupercharged28]

we pulled the trans back a little and openned the hood and pulled the trans back a little and then reached behind the motor from under the hood to get it all done.
