Did some progress on these off days. Target is to have tha F23 installed before tuesday!
I think I'll take this time to re design the exhaust system. This system was made with what I had left from a previous build. I'll make it Shorter and less restricting.[This message has been edited by La fiera (edited 12-22-2018).]

Hello guys!! Well the trans is in since 2 weeks ago but the project had a little hick up due to a tragedy.
I came home from vacation and the very next day my dady passed away back home, The Dominican Republic; he was 83 years old.
Its been almost a week and I'm feeling better so the projects (3.4 & 3.XX) should start going soon.
My dad loved cars, he was an Industrial Engineer. He heard the Fiero on start up and I revved it for him and he couldn't stop laughing!
My advice to you, cherish your dad because you only have one.

Sorry to hear about your dad. Sounds like he lived a pretty full life, though.

Thank you Mike and PMbrunnelle for the kind words.
Today I did a bit of progress. I installed the shifter and the cables on the trans and installed the 5 speed shifter.

Sorry to hear about your Dad. It is good to remember those special times together.
I didn't realize you can pull the tranny out from the top. Any special tips? How much does it weigh?

Yes it can be done. I had more trouble because of my headers interference, with the stock logs it would've been a breaze.
Once the trans is unbolted the pressure plane needs to be removed and the trans can come out.
To replace it is the opposite.
Drop the trans in and install the clutch and pressure plate (You'll need some patience with it but it can be done).
In my case it was more difficult for me because the F23 is bigger a bit longer and heavier 78lbs vs 104lbs .
I didn't use a cherry picker to do the lifting and dropping of the trans, it was all human power.
I do not recommend this method.
The only reason I did it was because I don't have the means to lift the body off the cradle safely.
But to answer your question, Yes, it can be done with strength and patience.
PS. The 4 speed passenger side axle was too long, I had to get one ffrom a 2000 Cavalier.[This message has been edited by La fiera (edited 01-27-2019).]
