Driveline Upgrade: Ladies and Gentlemen, I purchased a 95 SC 5-speed recently and it needs a new/rebuilt transmission. I have read previous forum discussions about the removal and installation from Jimmy 2Coupes, Kurt K, and 92sclikenew. I am still a bit confused on the process and have a few questions:
1. Would it be more convenient to replace the rear diff with a 3.27 tracloc (code Y) from a junkyard while removing my transmission?
2. Are there technical documents available through SCCOA for doing this work?
3. How much labor is required to remove the transmission, rear-end and replace clutch?
4. I am looking for a factory feel that can handle a few mods…what stage / brand clutch should I install?
5. What special tools should I rent or buy…
6. Any other suggestions / recommendations on rebuilders . products. Ect
I live in St. Louis Missouri and do have a big garage. I plan on doing the work in early to mid-May. Thank you for any advice!
NOTE: I have never removed a transmission before, but will have a friend with me that has removed several in is day. I do not plan on rebuilding the transmission myself, I hope to find a reputable shop to do the work in St. Louis.
