Thanks 07burb.... well off I go to get a bigger pry bar....no air tools is really making it more a pain in the ass....

well I have the tahoe on car ramps and in the start of doing the tranny swap. I have the front and rear drive shafts out. I have the t-case unbolted from the tranny but now I am stuck. In order for me to get the t-case down it looks like I have to remove the crossmember. Right? Or not? Because if so the bolts/nuts are really on there good and frickin tight.

Oh and ya I am finding alot of broken parts while doing this. Broken dogbone on drivers side and a transmount bushing fell apart and also a broken sensor on the side of the tranny that has plugs going into it, I dont know the name fopr it but it looks expensive....

Nothing on these are really "expensive" unless you are talking hardened shafts or something ...

Here is where I get all my trans parts:

If that electrical connector is the one where the gear selector is, it's about $50 ...

half way done

Well after about 4 hours I have the tranny out.... thats a job now....working on the ground trying to muscle that damn thing out... well atleast my girlfriend was there helping me when she could....she took off the tranny pan to drain the fluid out and cleaned the pan and put it back on while I was up top in some weird positions trying to finaggle my hand and wrench to get the top bolts out from the tranny....

Well it looks like I am going to have to sell some tires I have in order to buy my parts for the tranny..... off I go to the for sale forum part

oh no?

Ok I have got a chance to compare my tranny to the one that I got to put it in and they are different. The tranny I got to replace mine has a removable shroud on the bellhousing and the bellhousing is not removable, to where the one I took out of the tahoe has a removable bellhousing. Is this gonna work?
