Transmission needs to be drained and removed, of course.

I'll see if I can find any good how-to's later. It would be very helpful to me if someone went in on a group buy for some taller final drives. 3.4 might be too tall for you though; you'd probably be sub-2000rpm with your stock tire size at 65mph in top gear... or maybe that's a good thing? You'd practically have a "2 through 7" trans rather than 1-6.

EDIT: A custom super tall FD (3.4) requires a group buy and is probably going to come out to $1200. A slightly taller FD (4.108) is available here for $450. Of course, it's not as taller.
