Tranny work...

How hard is it to do your own tranny work? Theres something rattling around in the Si 5-speed tranny im about to put in with my ZC and want to take a look inside myself to see what it is, but ive never done any transmission work before. Anyone know if its a big pain in the ass? Theres a shop here that wants to charge me $75 just for them to take it apart and look at it. Am i getting ripped off? Would it be too hard for me?

It's not hard to open up. Just take off the engine mounts that hold it, and unbolt it from the block and lower it down. There are more bolts in the middle that open it up to where the actual gears and stuff is.

so i just pop off those bolts in the middle and open it up? Nothing is gonna get screwed up if i open it? No springs will pop off or anything?

anyone know?

I've been told that if you've never opened up a tranny before and played with the internals of it you're going to have a hell of time doing so. If you do do this by yourself have a lot of plastic bags and label everything.
