i think you're talking about where the axle hits the tranny. wedge a screwdriver in there and hit it with a hammer a few times. it should budge out a little bit, giving you enough leeway to pull it out by hand via the metal part of the axle's hub.

Guys i got the tranny off my burgandy G, the next thing is to take out the whole engine on my white G so i can then take out the tranny. I know i dont need to take out the whole engine its just that since the white G is wrecked then i rather just take out the engine with the tranny and that way i kill two birds with one shot

**peanotation** · 07-21-2005, 08:00 PM

good call, it's definitely easier to take them out together as a whole. are you gonna keep your engine, or put in the one from the donor car?

**Joaltava** · 07-22-2005, 04:52 PM

well i am keeping the engine and taking out the tranny and putting the 5 speed tranny in the burgandy G.

as for the engine well i am going to store the engine and maybei might buy a G that has a blown engine and put it in

Guys i finally got the engine and 5 speed tranny out of my donor car, now i plan on sending the engine to a machine shop and have them rebuilt the engine. I plan on taking out the engine from my car and replacing it with the donor engine and transmission after i have the engine rebuilt.

Guys tell me what yall think

**peanotation** · 09-03-2005, 08:33 PM

are you getting it rebuilt with oem parts? or are you building "up" the motor for some boost/power?

i dont know what your funds are like, but if you're going performance, its only $900 to get your tranny race built from shep

if not, then get an lsd insert. again, only if you're going for speed. not sure what your plans are.

Well i plan to rebuilt the engine with oem parts so she can last me at least 4 more years, she is going to be my everyday drive, i plan on putting the ACT Clutch kit that you bought. She is going to be used for everyday things like going to work and doing erans. The GS is going to be my project car once i am done with my everyday car.

you would be fine with a stock organic clutch i imagine. a 2100 wouldn't be overkill but could take anything you throw at it from a daily driver

**Joaltava** · 09-09-2005, 06:29 PM

guys i just started taking out the clutch and brake pedal from the donor car, i will also take out the shifter and the shifter cables and the slave cylinder.

save EVERY single bolt that has anything to do with anything 5spd related. a lot of the nuts and bolts dont transfer over

**Joaltava** · 09-09-2005, 08:21 PM

OK i will make sure that i save every single one

they bolt to the transmission and the mounts bolt to the perches.

here's all 3. the bottom left one is the passenger side perch. the top one is the front perch that the tranny and motor share. the bottom right one slides over your speed sensor plug and bolts to the rear mount thats closest to the firewall.

**Joaltava** · 09-10-2005, 07:39 PM

Ohhhhh ok now i know, yeah i have those, basically i have put all the parts from the automatic tranny in one box and the manual parts on a second box

**Joaltava** · 09-14-2005, 08:40 PM

well guys i just finish taking out everything from the donor car, i have all the parts for the swap laying around my back area. I have also been delayed due to the cops putting a citation on my Burgandy G due to her being in stands and not on her own two front wheels, they say that makes the city value go down so i will have to chill for a couple of days and then start working on my car again.

Also Guys my brother got ahold of a 1995 LS, The car is in mint condition the only problem is that it has a blown engine which we dont care since we have a spare good engine laying around in the house. He bought the car for $325 dollars

Ill see if i get some pics of everything

**seth98esT** · 09-14-2005, 08:47 PM

Haha jeez man, your going to have yourself a Galant junkyard pretty quick. Take pics!

**Joaltava** · 09-14-2005, 08:53 PM

yeah i know, i have a 96-S a 94-GS and i just got rid of a 96-S to get a 95-LS, i love all G's i dont know why i just do they are sexy and light and damn they can be very fast once you put a 5 speed or the engine swap
