I made some good progress Wednesday night. The tranny is only being held in with 2 bolts. The down side is I lost my help until this coming Wednesday. I may try to slip out the tranny by myself. I am really excited to get my VX on the road, getting closer!!

Surgery underway...


If you remove the shifter first, you have access to alot of connections that are a pain from other the car. Figured this out after the fact....



I've read that the wiring goes all the way back to the tranny and boy does it.


Tranny propped up waiting to get removed...


Amigo ready for new home.....

Lookin good. Anytime you feel like it's getting tough, let me know and I'll send you some pics, lol, my VX's insides will make you cringe. It's like comparing a paper cut to a vivisection.

Not to run too far off topic but...it that an Ironman edition Amigo?

[Buffy]

No it is not an Ironman Edition, at least not that I am aware of.

Got some more work done on the VX yesterday. The motor and tranny are now ready to come out.... I just need my mechanic help to get it all out.

Tech tip here, the common chamber has to come off because there are electrical connections under it. The other interesting thing to note is where the gas lines disconnect.... all the way back on the transmossion..


The wiring headace continues, the wiring harness goes all the way from the drivers side all the way to the rear of the motor on the passenger side or any kind of break what so ever....



Shameless toy picture....


Back to live action.... Motor ready to lift out.....

I never had to remove the common chamber at all when I took mine out. But I can see how that might have made things easier. Nice progress!
