I was very busy working on transmission and bagging and tagging parts coming off and labeling wiring etc had 3 guys working on car with me. I also running into the house and make phone calls to Eric at Kozmic as first couple sets of documentation was hundreds of pages long Transmission is now out and documentation was finally found but next to nothing. It is a slow painful process worst transmission removal I have ever done in my 30 years of working on cars. I now see that having a hoist and special Mitsubishi retention bar assembly on top to hold and manipulate center rear engine lift point would of been very helpful.

I am starting to think I do not want to have to do the install and I am finally at the point where I might sell off the car if I have further issues with transmission.

Would be pretty hard to document as a lot of the bolts you could not see properly. You had to put your hand in feel around, then put the socket on the figure out how to get ratchet or wrench on etc.. Don't get me wrong we got it done in about 4.5 hours.
We did not have a hoist of any of the specialized tools or equipment that a Mitsubishi dealer or transmission shop might have and ended up cutting up a lot of 2 x 6 pieces of wood to support things underneath separately and we figured out afterwards we did not have to have the car as high as we did.

All in all I got to spend good quality wrenching time with good friends and we got the transmission out in half a day so I am going to call it a win!



I have the entire SST service manual but I may need to set up a drop box account or something because just that chapter of the manual is about 8 mb just by its self.
