Bagging and tagging. I've never learned that on myself. I throw everything into a bucket and play a game when its reassemble time. Usually its not to hard if you just look at the parts, determine the level of grime,the size and the depth. 10 oily m11 bolts, headbolts.... 8-12 rusty fried lookign nuts, exhaust. 8-12 shiny clean bolts..intake.

You played the game, what doesn't belong when you were younger. Just sort it all out by grime and size. oily/clean is prob internal. rustys front of motor, grimeys side of motor, and the backs usually clean.

There is no good way for us to help you on here... post on the forum thats closet to you, I bet a dsmer over your way would help you out if you provided some beer and food!

Just wondering does anybody know how hard/pointless it be to rebuild a tranny that doesnt hold 5th gear. it works just shoots out

Anybody got anything

I don't have any first hand experience with your particular tranny, but I think the rebuilding a motor is 10x easier than rebuilding a trans. I can rebuild my motor at 4am,half drunk with absolutely no issues. I find my self cursing at a tranny every time, plus you need special tools. hydraulic press, gear/bearing separators,micrometers,heavy duty impact gun, and access to the shims, or the patience to rebuild a trans over the course of a month as you wait for shims to come one at a time.
