How to rebuild your FWD 5 Speed Manual Transmission... (Guide)

[BigBoris]

Ok so I decided to create this guide to help you rebuild your FWD 5 Speed Manual Transmission. Now I know after looking at this you might say "well you didn’t take the gears off the shafts." You're right, I didn’t need to. But this will give you a place to start minus all the gears. Let's get started…
First off place your transmission on the front bell housing as displayed.

Then remove the seven 12mm bolds holding on the end piece. Under this you will see your 5th gear. You will need to remove the two 36mm nuts and the push pin holding it in place.

This is the pin you need to remove.


Next there is a 14mm bolt that you need to remove that is here, I didn’t have it in when I took this picture but you can't miss it.

After you remove that one 14mm bolt, proceed to remove the other thirteen 14mm bolts holding the mid-case on.
Once you take this off you might want to take this chance to clean the mid-case. as it will build up some nasty stuff.

Now you should see the gears exposed.


The differential should just pull right out as nothing holding it in place.
