Do you have a place to do it?

What parts do you have so far?

What year car?

87 camaro. I'm still working on all the parts (waiting to get paid) and I have a place but not sure if I have all the tools. And my garage is pretty crowded

If you're willing to contribute beer and food, there are several of us who will help.

Start a parts list here so we can make sure you have everything on hand.

Tacomama to K falls is 422 miles. You get down here and bring a posi carrier from Gabe up there, and you can have the transmission free, then when you go back north you can deliver a spoiler in Portland for me. Thats an easy weekend trip. Cool

Hmmm well I don't know who gave is. Ill think about this trip but it'll have to waittill I get paid enough money here in the next couple of weeks to do it. Do you ever make it up north?

just curious, but what is wrong with the current transmission that's in it?

Nothings wrong with it, I'm just bored of driving an auto. I tried to sell it and buy a camaro in the same shape that was 5 speed but i couldnt find one with how much people offered me for my car

Is rather drive, meet people, do a favor, and not have to pull it myself.

Yea I've never pulled a tranny myself, doesn't mean I can't learn though haha I have to save as much money as I cab for this little project
