Thread: Removing Engine and Tranny Together for Dummies Like Me (Write Up)

DUDE!! I pride myself on being fairly meticulous and decent about documenting and detailing things. I just recently pulled out my engine and transmission over an extended period of time just like yourself (theres a thread on here somewhere where I documented the progress). But the document you put together is just beyond being good or well done. It is VERY nice work indeed.

You get a big thumbs up for this one, some reputation points and 5 star rating on the thread. I do hope that you continue the process when you put everything back together. What you have done so far is VERY impressive.

Hopefully we can get that document moved into the how to section if you have no objections.

I hope, that with those kind of documenting skill, some detail here and there, we see a lot more of that from you if you have time. It was really well done. To be honest I would love nothing more than to have a team that could do high quality DVD How To's. I am all about documentation, details and how to's.

I grew up around racing, circle track (my mom raced as did most of her friends) and drag racing, funny cars mostly. But ask them for tricks of the trade and it was like you were pulling teeth. When I was out on my own and had questions about how to do things on cars Id ask, mainly professionals and again it was like pulling teeth. So many are afraid they loose something of themselves by sharing that information and nothing could be further from the truth. This is why I have such profound respect for people like Trannyman, Reptile, and many others here. They arent afraid to share what they know and realize that by doing so they dont loose anything.

I guess thats how my passion for how to's and documenting such things grew. There is nothing I know about cars that I have not learned from someone else and it makes no sense not to share that.

So to that end, I hope to see you around here a lot more and hope that as you do work on your car you too are encouraged to share what you have learned and pass it along.

I love documenting. If there was an easy way to get you guys my gasket how-to over at NAIOA, I would, but you have to be a member to view it.

Anyway, this is a great write up! I've saved it to my hard drive for future reference. Very well done.
