yea except for when the youtube video says " dont worry about this" or "you can leave this out or put it back in" lol good luck
I hope you have an impact wrench to take off the pinion nut.
That's why I'm doing it at my friends house, he has all the needed tools. The only problems are its cold as monkey nuts & we're splitting time with working on fixing his house.
How cold are monkey nuts? Below 32 degrees? lol goodluck
Monkey nuts are a very warm 28 degrees outside right now. The driveshaft was a royal pain to get off with the car on stands but I think I found out why my tranny has a problems with 2nd 4th & reverse. Went to take the FILL plug out & fluid went everywhere for about 5 minutes. I guess when he filled it he tried the take the shifter off & pour it in through the top method? I can only guess that he jus filled it up as much as possible because there can't be a reason to have that much in it at all! That's just a guess.
"He" of course meaning the previous owner.
My idiot friend just did this. He calls me at 11pm at night "hey you awake?"
Me"kinda whats up"
him "my trans is leaking oil have an idea what it could be?''
me "rear seal where the drive shaft goes?"
him "ok let me see yup ok ill replace it..."
Couple days later im over at his house he has a t5 btw, and im taking his pro 5.0 shifter off his car we traded his for my steeda one.. i look into the trans its full of fluid under the shifter.... i asked him how many quarts he put in he told me 7. I slapped him then made him drain till it stopped coming out the fill hole underneath.

That tells you lots of good info...says 3.1 for tranny fluid if I read it right.
