Mounted my chain hoist to the joists of the carport today and made a bracket for the tranny. Works great. Did all the work at chest level.
Done:
1) Drilled out MG1 cable attachment cover bolt as it was seized by the overzealous use of an impact drill. I had to remove the wires from the transaxle still in the car during teardown because of this.
2) Installed MG1 cables in Transaxle and sealed cover with RTV.
3) Cleaned and replaced oil pan. The sediment was very fine and black. It seemed to be coarser towards the magnet suggesting a good wear in pattern. There was just a sprinkling of bronze glitter.
4) Cleaned out CV joints. Will re-pack tomorrow with synthetic grease. Stock grease is thin and flows fairly easily.
5) Swapped brackets and other pits and pieces to new trans.
To do:
1) Install new axle seals. They are waiting at the dealer for me to pick up. Probably will have to wait till Tuesday to do it. I might install the Tranny now and the seals later.
2) Install transaxle.
3) Pray.
