There right Kia. Ther 12pack thay'd charge is a lot cheaper than a mechanic and probably just as good.

Hey if I can reassemble a motorcycle after pounding a few down I can build anything.. Hmm 8 hour job that sounds more like a Kegger job though..

i'm for it if you guys are serious. actualy kevan's house is a bike ride away.. could work out (no car rental).

here are the two articles about clutch and removing the tranny:

clutch repair (http://www.radphys.com/ARTICLE_MANUAL_TRANSAXLE_CLUTCH_REPAIR.pdf) and tranny removal (http://www.radphys.com/ARTICLE_MANUAL_TRANSAXLE_DISASSMEBLY.pdf).

Try Vinnes Auto Sport in Cambridge, he's on Bent Street (no lame jokes please). He's a good guy and I don't know if he knows Celicas, but he does know Japanese and German cars. He used to race Corrados (had 5) and currently rallies his Evo 5 aroudn the US.

vinnie's is a good place i know his partner he races with he's a good friend of my father's,

Dear Bag Boy... i cannot have your car here in peices for a day or two that wouldent go well with my parents,I live under there roof and there rules, I also have no lift to which it makes it very easy to drop the tranny from, i have done that in the Automotive Repair classes i have took as well as a transmission shop in somerville i used to work at afterschool while in highschool, like i said i have done this but not to a celica, so before you start saying that im all talk take a couple things into mind

1, when i said to bring it to my garage it was a joke..

2, when you guys asked me i told you the truth i could do it but i dont got the time nor the place

3, if you rent/borrow a garage and the tools that i dont have i will do it for you for a small fee, but not for another month

whats wrong with that? how am i all talk?
