Not really.

What year and hp are you running ? Maybe someone can give you more details. It's usually pretty easy.

Take the 6 nuts/bolts you see off near the anti-cav plate. Take the plastic/rubber plug off above the torque tab and un bolt the (10mm I think) and remove the tab. Theres one more bolt under the tab that has to come off too.... Maybe two... I was told to keep my motor in neutral and dont turn the motor over so the shift shaft lines up properly.... Thats all there is to it, It's heavy... You may want to trim the motor up real high to do this.

Putting the LU back on may give you a lil' trouble. You may want to trim it back down and use a floor jack to hold it up. Sometimes if the shift shaft wont let the LU go all the way on, You take a long pair of needle nose pliers and reach in and wiggle the shift shaft and it should go on the rest of the way.


No biggie.
