  Q: How to remove and install Manual transmission?

  A: To begin the removal process, first disconnect the negative battery cable, then remove the shift lever, lift the vehicle and safely support it on jackstands. Let out the transmission lubricant and pull out the driveshaft(s), wrapping up the transmission end to prevent any liquid loss and contamination. In case of a 4WD vehicle, take off the transfer case or uninstall braking system parts blocking access if required. Unbolt exhaust system components for clearance. Remove all wire harness connectors from the transmission and depending on model year, remove either clutch release cylinder or hydraulic line. Get rid of inspection cover on normal-duty (aluminum case) transmissions. Ensure that these wiring harness clips are present and can be detached from the transmission. Next, you need to separately support both engine and transmission with a special jack for latter. Remove nuts from crossmember bolts before raising the transmission slightly and removing crossmember. On heavy-duty (cast iron case) models of transmissions remove some bolts that connect it with clutch housing; on usual-duty models remove some bolts that connect transmission with engine.Remove all wires, then move the transmission and jack towards rear of vehicle until transmission input shaft clears clutch or clutch housing. Lower down transmission taking care not to step down on clutch pedal while it's out.Inspect those clutch components.For installment purposes after removing them if such was eventually done to this set of clutch components; attach/fit them into a heavy duty 4speed model clutch housing.Carefully lift up into position behind engine or clutch housing a transmission sliding it forward till engaging input shaft with hub on clutch plate.Avoid using excessive force- if input shaft does not slide into place, adjust either trans angle or input shaft in order to ensure proper engagement.Once flush with either clutch housing or engine install trans-to-engine/clutch housing bolts and tighten.Installation should include securing cross member as well as mounting point for this trans; then jacks can be picked up which supported both trans and engine.Previously removed components such as the transfer case (if any), the driveshafts, and parts of the exhaust system should be reinstalled. Reconnect all wires and hoses, check the transmission fluid level to ensure that it is correct, and lower vehicle. The shift lever should then be reinstalled, negative battery cable reconnected, vehicle road tested, and leakages checked for.

  Q: How do you remove the Automatic transmission?

  A: Disconnect the negative battery cable and then raise the vehicle to allow you to drain off the transmission fluid by removing the transmission pan. You can mark both the torque converter and driveplate in order to facilitate proper reassembly after you have removed the torque converter cover. Next, remove starter motor as well as the driveplate-to-torque converter bolts, driveshaft(s), exhaust components, vehicle speed sensor, wire harness connectors, vacuum hose (if equipped with a 3L80/3L80-HD), and other parts that need to be disconnected. The TV cable should be disconnected if it is equipped with a 4L60 (700R-4). Take out shift linkage/cable and support engine/transmission using jacks. Remove cross-member-to-frame nuts and bolts, rear transmission mount-to-crossmember nut and crossmember along with it. Slightly lower down the transmission; disconnect and plug off its cooler lines for transmission fluid. Ensure that torque converter is secured while removing transmission dipstick tube. Make sure that once installed, the torque converter hub is tightly engaged in the pump. For 1996 and later models: Install new quick-connector fitting E-clips into transmission cooler line fittings and then raise transmission into position while keeping it level so that torque converter does not slide out of place. Connect transmission fluid cooler lines securely. Align marks on the driveplate to the ones on torque converter by turning this one around until they match up correctly. It is important to carefully move forward with caution so that dowel pins would just contact bellhousing holes before tightening bolts which secure transmission housing-to-engine securely, finally installing them inside these two orifices where they will be secure enough as well if nothing else happens during such process either like falling apart when trying again later because everything needed will have actually fallen apart if anything broken before moving forward first could still work even though some things might not want anyone looking further than someone else anyway while most people are just doing what needs them right now. Afterwards, screw in the driveplate-to-torque converter bolts as well as the crossmember then drop the mount stud into its hole. Jacks have supported transmission and engine, so you need to put dipstick tube, starter motor, vacuum hose(s) (if equipped), shift and TV linkage or cable, wire harness connectors, torque converter cover, driveshaft(s), speedometer cable; follow up with exhaust system components. Lower the vehicle, fill the transmission with the specified fluid, start the engine, and check for fluid leaks.

  Q: How to overhaul Manual transmission?

  A: Overhauling a manual transmission is a difficult job for the do-it-yourselfer, involving the disassembly and reassembly of many small parts. Numerous clearances must be precisely measured and, if necessary, changed with select fit spacers and snap-rings. If transmission problems arise, it can be removed and installed by a competent do-it-yourselfer, but overhaul should be left to a transmission repair shop. Rebuilt transmissions may be available -check with your dealer parts department and auto parts stores. The time and money involved in an overhaul is almost sure to exceed the cost of a rebuilt unit. However, it's not impossible for an inexperienced mechanic to rebuild a transmission if the special tools are available and the job is done in a deliberate step-by-step manner so nothing is overlooked. The tools necessary for an overhaul include internal and external snap-ring pliers, a bearing puller, a slide hammer, a set of pin punches, a dial indicator and possibly, a hydraulic press. A large, sturdy workbench and a vise or transmission stand will also be required. During disassembly of the transmission, make careful notes of how each piece comes off, where it fits in relation to other pieces and what holds it in place. This will make it much easier to get the transmission back together. Before taking the transmission apart for repair, it will help if you have some idea what area of the transmission is malfunctioning. Certain problems can be closely tied to specific areas in the transmission, which can make component examination and replacement easier.
