    Thanks, Bill! I know that a day would be a long shot but I think a weekend would be pretty doable. I have a flexible work schedule so I could have 3-4 days off if needed. I would love to get some help though from some guys on here that are more knowledgeable and that I could learn a thing or two from. The main part I am concerned about is dropping the tranny by myself and aligning the clutch properly. I haven't done either of these, but the rest seems pretty straight forward. I think I finally found the 2.7L donor I've been looking for, let's get it rolling!

    Damn man, I am sorry to hear that. My prayers are with you and your family. Let us all hope for the best.

    Remember also that when you change the transmission, you also need to swap out the flywheel as well. On a good day, with a lift and air tools, it takes me about 4 hours to remove a trans, swap out the clutch and flywheel, and reinstall it.


    Well we had our first night of our rodeo! It was a blast. We actually had more fans show up this Friday than last year! And first time ever, we had a woman competing in the bull riding! She did better than some, not as good as others. Was interesting and the fans loved it!

    God 3 solid customer contacts, and have one guy bringing his boat to the shop for a LED strip lighting job.

    1. It looks like you threw mud at it and spread it around with a paint brush.

    2. You need to spread some on the back.

    3. What exactly is salty about your life?

    I have a complete 4x4 Tacoma with a 2.7 that I'd be willing to get rid of if you need a donor.. Your only in Fort Payne so I could deliver if you don't have a trailer..

    What Bill said. I could use something that no one is likely looking for assuming it's in good condition.
