Hi,

I would be happy to provide directions and pics to help. However, I need to know if this is for an automatic or manual transmission.

Let me know.

No problem whatsoever. I attached everything below for the removal and installation. Please don't be overwhelmed when looking at the directions. Most of the work is removing things so that the transmission can be removed.

I would like to make a suggestion. You must have an engine support to do this job. Don't try doing it without. Also, there are so many bolts that you will be removing, it is easy to lose or mix them up. When I deal with this issue, I always get a box of ziplock bags and a marker. I place the bolts into individual bags and mark where they came from. It really makes it easier when you are ready to put things together.

I hope this helps.

Take care and Happy Easter. Let me know if you run into trouble. I'll try my best to help from here.

Thank you so very much, I really appreciate it. One last question for now at least. could you tell me how long it should take removing and replacing the transmission?

Hi,

You're not going to be happy. Labor to remove and reinstall the transmission calls for 9.1 hours. See pic below.

If you are doing this at home, expect more like 15 hours. It isn't an easy job.

Let me know if I can help.

Take care and Happy Easter.
