Also, in order to take out the intermediate shaft, i'm assuming the other axle has to be removed as well?
And... OMG you removed everything, again???? lol ouch!!
yea we took apart both sides, removed the tranny, put in the NEW tranny (hehe it was finished on tuesday night) i took the day off tuesday to take the car apart myself then all of wed. me, cuesta, and eric put everything back together again.. replaced the seals and boxed up the old tranny to be stored away in abuelitos backyard house.
for the intermediate shaft, 2 bolts by the axle, and pretty much the same way we did the other side only this time we poped the tie rods out and that made it alot easier to work and take out the axles.. yes it was a nightmare but it will be worth it... the fked up part the tranny was completed later then friday which is why i stuck with the old one.. w.e lol its ON now lol.. and i only need to fix 2 more things.. the clutch engagement which i PMed u sergio about...and a small squeak im getting from the brakes.. im gonna try to look at that today

Jason...WTF have you been???
honestly, i have at one point thought about parting out the tc, going back to stock and selling it, ive also thought about just keeping it the way it is without putting anymore money into it, but things are still in the air. id love to keep it as my dd since mostlikely the 240s gonna be down for awhile, but the partout has crossed my mind. im really getting into the idea of getting the 240 though. aside from that, a 350z has also entered my mind, but for the price and oldschool styling, the 240 is still at the top of my list
will do homie... not something id really LIKE to do, but its an option. car runs well, just have a catch can sitting in my comp room for the past 6mos to put in.... aside from that, maybe clean it up a bit, but thats about it... im fairly sure i dont want to spend anymore money on it. for where its at, its good for me. financially, just have to pay off some stuff, and negociate with the wifey, (if i get something, she wants something of greater or equal value...lol) so im looking at possibly 6-12mos before im ready to look for it. Ive been doing the research on it for awhile now, but just recently is when i joined the 240sx boards and im getting a great amount of info.
