Some tools you will need for the project:
Drain Pan
4 Jack Stands
Jack
Impact Wrench
Torque Wrench
Creeper (optional)
14mm - sockets and wrenches
12mm - sockets and wrenches
19mm - sockets and wrenches
1-1/4" socket (or 32mm is the same size)
17mm - sockets and wrenches
10mm - sockets and wrenches
Instant Gasket
Pickle Fork Set
Liquid Wrench (WD40 or the like)
Grease
3 quarts of manual tranny fluid of your choice. (I personally like Redline Shockproof Lightweight)
Tranny Jack or a buddy to help you (Tranny weighs 95 lbs and fits in tight)
The install time will range between 8 hours and 24 hours of labor depending on how smoothly things go.
Parts I recommend you replace when doing this: LSD bearings, tranny seals, throw out bearing
I VERY highly recommend that you label each bolt and part when you take it out. So have a permanent marker and some masking tape handy.
