On any work I had planned for this weekend(a bunch)[Bang]
The kid grenaded the clutch on his S10 so instead of fixing firearms I get to pull a tranny!
Yay!
Just a heads up and I apologize for any inconvenience in advance.

Is pulling a tranny like giving a reach around?
Not sure why this will slow you down much. Shouldn't take you more than about two hours. [Coffee]

I don't have your habits Jim, besides you being from NY you probably have more experience than I.
Ray, your not helping much..........
I have a fancy schmancy extension that might help if you want to borrow it. It's really long and has a 1/2" drive input with a 3/8 male end. Made just for transmission bolts. Works awesome with my Snap-On wobble sockets. You can borrow some of those too if you want. Text me if you need anything.

That is pretty funny in a thread that mentions pulling trannys and reach arounds........
Sometimes it's good to be the mechanic. You can spend all day talking about nuts and rods and cranks and how big your tool is. And just about everything has a male and a female end. Except for some of the really strange stuff some of that has two male ends or two female ends.

wish I was there Brother. I think my fastest 5 speed drop and swap is 45 minutes.
BE SURE TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT TOOL!
I probably have an alignment tool if your clutch kit doesn't come with one.

But you have to just be "accepting" of those parts ;)

Almost all new clutch kits come with alignment tool and throw out bearing. Buy a LUK clutch and don't worry about doing it again.

Oh, I am. In fact, the female/female stuff is some of my favorite.

Thanks Ray, I just may, I have multiple extensions but when ya plug 3-4 of them together and hit the trigger it can get fun. Gonna run and get the BIL's TRANSMISSION jack.
We should be ok.
The rest of Y'all is just nasty........[Flower]

Man all you guys are pretty rough on Bert. Even with your help, suggestions and good intentions I pray God you have a car lift and are not doing this job lying flat on your back! You all know what I mean! ;)

Good one. The old N bodies had that one bolt that you had to have a 50" extension to get to. If the clutch ever goes in my Dodge I am not doing it myself. [Coffee] And I will not comment on any of the other stuff. [werdo]

Now, that's funny stuff.
Like I need a piece of yard art.
