As the topic asks...any tool or tip that would make the process smoother and easier.

I would have to take apart the mainshaft as well, since I also have a GSR fifth gear.

I'm not using air tools, no lift. The usual "Honda tools" and a Helms.

also, what would be a recommended lb. torque wrench?

I would appreciate any knowledge that could be had! DIY is better than who knows how much a dealer etc. would charge for this...

 

Funny, I go back to the forum after the post, and there is that post about dropping the tranny in the middle of NOPI. I feel so inadequate!

 

Well I would sell the GS-R fifth personally... the only non-custom tools us we-todd's use are sockets and a 3 prong pulley. Our press is a big socket and a nice alum. pipe, and our Vise is a Hype-R. Not a horribly hard job but the first time can be difficult for sure.
