....so I yanked the harmonic balancer today.... 110 degrees out! Well, there's the engine vibration. Attacked the output shaft seal leak. The drive-shaft yoke has the dimesions of a coke bottle. Major play. So I got a new one comming, $40, quick fix there buuuut....

Output shaft bushing. I refuse to drop the trans! I also refuse to pay $180 for the special puller to do it in car and $80 for the installer! Besides, I buy those tools for a one time job the wife will have a fit! lol
So, anyone live in the cleveland area with those tools? Or any other bright ideas to extract and install this?

It was easier to just pull the trans. I'm going to rebuild it, never done a stick before, should be fun. It was a good thing I did pull it, bellhousing bolts were loose and wrong ones. Also found out this car was an automatic, sloppy cut in the floor pan for the shifter. LUK clutch, looks pretty good, and it did have the right flywheel on it.
