tranny install

[dripley]

Sweat and busted knuckles really gets you to appriciate your truck,when I first got mine I pushed her hard when pulling,now I baby her even though I have more transmission that I'll ever need:smart:

thru this whole job not one busted knuckle on me or any of my helpers. that has got to be a first for me. i received the only injury, my oily hand slipped on the bell housing while moving the old tranny out of the way and cut the palm of my hand just enough to hurt, no blood. no blood on any one. i am still amazed at that one. reassembly went as good a disassembly. we took it slow and methodical. i like you worked my truck pretty hard wihile towing. the owner manual said you did not have to change the tranny fluid just keep it full. that served me well for quite a while. but after having gone thru this it makes the price and labor of changing the fluid look like chump change:spend: change compared buying and replacing that nv5600. i believe now i can slow downn a little and grab a lower gear a little mor often.
