Quick video showing how to pull and replace a transmission in a first gen DSM. If you have suggestions to add to this, I would love to hear them and I hope you have a great day!

Excellent video..

Nice to see the pivot ball shim in the video at 18:41, lots of forums talk about it but not a lot of videos show it

Man I now realize I need a shop with a lift now. I've pulled trans out of 1g awd a few times but working on the ground i just find it easier to pull the engine as well as the subframe really gets in the dang way.

A lift makes all the difference on that one! A FWD is sure easier in a few ways

Parts for these 5-speeds are getting harder and harder to find. What was wrong with the old one? Besides a cracked case now… lol.

Some bad synchros, but aside from that apparently not much 😂 I was trying to diagnose a noise which ended up being my motor mount bracket coming loose (on the driver side holding the tensioner on) after installing poly mounts! I had an extra transmission laying around so it was an easy enough diagnostic to rule the whole trans out and make a video for it.
