Subject:Automatic Transmission removed!
From:Andy Yarnell
Date:Mon, 19 Apr 2004 14:39:10 -0500

I must preface by typing this: Any wisdom from anyone who has done this
job before would be welcomed. I don't want to miss anything while I have
it out, and don't want to do anything stupid before or during
re-installation. Now for my story...

I removed the A/T from my 1989 Carat over the weekend. I had one
stubborn CV bolt, but with a little convincing she finally gave way.
Removing the Auto Trans was really straight forward, and I did not even
have a second pair of hands. The worst part of the job was all the grime
and sludge falling in my face, hair, eyes, & mouth, while lying under
the engine disconnecting everything.
