earlier i said i recomend taking the kit to a pro, well, I called like 4 shops near me and none of them would install the kit. so i actually borrowed the tool i needed, a snap ring tool, from my gf's dad, and I'm gonna give it another shot on Thursday. I should have enough time and light since I now know exactly what to go for and unbolt, etc. Friday I'll be hitting the drag track, i hope...and bringing along my nice new Brenspeed tune. i'll let you all know how the times go and whatnot.

 

how difficult is it to install

 

hmm...i cant say accurate time figures but i'll give it a try. mind you i did all this while the car was still pretty hot. I had let the car sit for like an hour, but even like 6hrs later, with an open tranny case, this thing kept the heat...)

30-60min, unbolting pan, draining fluid(longest part), removing valve body and plate
30min to drill holes, took my time to make sure i did it right
30min trying to pull out the 2nd clutch accumiulator, failed miserably, called it a day
30-40min to put the plate on the valve body, put the valve body back, filter install, gasket and pan and fill the case back with a fresh 9qts of fluid...prolly closer to 8.

and then another like 30min reading instructions, and figuring out where things go, and taking quick breaks...it took from about 1:30-5:30 to get as far as i did..or didnt,lol.

 

cool, not as bad as some say then, let us know if it was worth the saved money
