If you actually plan to put it back together, get a book.

If not, start tearing away.

Oh yeah definitely. If you really want to learn something get a book and put it back together. Any jamoke with a tool set can tear a motor down, it's a lot harder to reassemble it and make it run. Good luck and have fun.

the best tool to crack open a 1.5ltr tranny is to use a 30lb sledge hammer!!! that'll do the trick.

yuo know that... that is not a bad idea. Its like having your parents buying you a chemestry set or something. I think ill do the same thing and build it back together.

Calm down homie. Get a manuel and the right tools and start reading. Have some patience, you're acting like a cave man.
