Are there any instructions/pointers to installing the TRE VC Eliminator online? Or if anyone has any tips, please post them here. Thanks!
 
ive looked everywhere and there are no instructions.

it's not hard to do at all though, from the passenger side wheel well, take out the rubber splash shield crap so you can see the side of the tranny. that side that you're looking at is a cover. unscrew all visible bolts and pull the cover off. be very carefull cuz the upper front is your 5th gear. make sure that doesn fall apart. the lower rear is your VC. there is a lock ring and it is a pain in the @ss to get off. once that is off, just slide off the coffee can (VC) and check the shaft. should have these huge BB looking metal balls. make sure the said balls stay in there, they hold in the output shaft that connects to the trans axle. slip the VCE on top and put the ring back. RTV your cover and bolt it back up.
anymore questions give me a call it'll be easier to explain. 505-442-1401 ask for jake.
 
Yah I put it in about 2 weekends ago now. It was actually pretty easy. In and out in about 45 minutes. Took longer to clean and re-seal the endcap than it did to install the VCE.
