Transmission installation?
I busted my transmission yesterday an got another tranny today so I'm not the best mechanic just wondering what I'm about to get myself into? Thanks in advance for the advice.

I hate to say it, but if you have to ask what you're in for with a tranny swap on a 4x4 you probably lack the tools AND knowledge for that major repair. It's not for a beginner. Even if you get 50 responses on here of tips and tricks it's just no substitute for experience. Plus, you're going to be handling heavy components so there is an element of safety that you need to be aware of. Find a friend who has done it before to help you. If you can't find a free helper you should find a shop willing to do the swap for a reasonable fee. However, if you're determined to do it, get on YouTube and view some how to videos and buy a repair manual. Be prepared to buy some tools and make a jig for handling the tranny.
