just got back from downtown.... Maggie's 21st birthday was at midnight. Got her good and hammered. :thumbsup

Going to bed here at 3am... so when ever I wake up. knowing me its gonna take quite awhile to pull the tranny/clutch since I never done it before. I have a PDF service manual, so I guess I should be alright.

It looks like I stript one of the studs a little bit for the downpipe... I'll see how bad the damage it in the morn. It may not be that big of a deal to take out now that nothing is in the way.

Just give me a buzz whenever tomorrow. If you wake my ass up.... so be it. I dont care.

Yeah I was real hesitant on taking down the tranny without a tranny jack. I never did anything like this before. It would be nice to have someone around who's more familiar. *cough TurboGarret*

Otherwise I got everything out of the way. Just have to pull the driveshaft and get started.

Pulled off the entire exhuast (heavy crap)

more progress tonight, thanks to Chris (Prince Valiant)
We got the drive shaft out, starter off, and the clutch release cylinder off the tranny.

Garret-
I have the service manual printed out from http://www.rx7city.com/93manual.htm
so I'm in good shape :thumbsup Thanks though
