Its good you found a way to get it done yourself.  We should establish a network of members who can help out of towners in their area.  Oh and I noticed you mentioned gear oil.  I'm pretty sure WC T5s use ATF instead of gear oil.

Yes, it was ATF I put in it.. Check out this picture of how we changed it with no jack or ramps in about 3 hours!! Dolly's sure do come in handy...X

Yes.. but 1st gear is kinda screwed with this transmission I got, I have to hold pressure on it to let out the clutch without it popping out. BUT... as soon as it moves it like engages all the way and I can let go, it don't pop out.. kind of weird ain't it? And 87IROC, you are right, that would be awesome to have a network of members to help out of towners.. I know I would join in a heartbeat.

I'm glad you're up and running! Are you on your way home yet? This weekend is looking nice so if you can stop out I'll be able to pull mine out of the garage.
