1996 900SE Turbo: Transmission Replacement
I am purchasing a used 5spd turbo transmission from a donor car. I plan on doing the work myself. I am curious if there are any detailed guides or homemade step by steps for this procedure? Images would be great! I am stoked to get this repair done and start driving my baby again!
I need to remove my transmission and replace it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Dmitry Platonoff has some great guides over on his site.

I've done essentially the same process myself too for a clutch replacement and conversion from cable-actuated to hydraulic. If you are doing a hydraulic conversion as well, be ready to bleed the system -- a pressure bleeder such as one from Motive or a homemade equivalent is the best option imo.
