Swapping the transmission is the easier part of it I thought.. You have to cut the part where the auto shift cable goes through to clear the shift linkage.. maybe it was just my grinder, too big of a disc, but I couldn't get a good angle to cut it at all.. Other than that, it really wasn't that bad.

its much much more than that my friend. lol running the clutch pedal...coverting ur center console installing and pulling the trans the axel...the cv joints u gottta run so much through ur firewall which is a bitch...much more than cutting the part where the shift cable goes lol...which is hard tho. but theress much much more.
