Tool/tip for you guys taking out your own trannies.
Well this will be my third time removing a tranny on an evo 9. This time its not mine, its my buddys. but anyway.
as all of you who have ever taken your trannys out, at the point when you need to remove the Intermediate Shaft that runs through the Transmission to the transfer case sometimes tends to either Slide right out, or be a total pain in the a*s.
Evomoto's clutch and flywheel write up says to use a dent puller and weld a 8mmx1.25 bolt to the end and go at it, well this worked well for when i did my transfer case but not last night we snapped the dent puller so we took a ride to home depot and i thought of using a 8mmx1.25 hex bolt put through a chain and we could pull it, (look at the pics)
but yeah. it worked AWESOME. and i thought i'd share with you guys this little jiggy rigged tool of mine.
hope it helps some of u in the future who take on the task of dropping your transmission in your own garage

usually the slide hammer works for my car, but this was my buddys car it has 67,000+ miles on it, friggen thing was IN there. i ended up breaking the welded bolt at the end of my slide hammer and my luck had no more welding wire, so we used this and it worked great.
