@MM54 Having recently pulled the trans on my STi, this brings back memories of using a singular floor jack because I didnt want to buy a trans jack. The trans fell off the jack at some point and it was unwieldy almost the whole time. Also, its funny to me how since mine is a Socal car, the mounting parts look entirely different due to lack of any rust.
Either way, looking forward to the next part that is the false hope of everything looking like its together. That means its done, right? Hah just hope the light at the end of the tunnel isnt a train! But you seem prepared for that so ill be the optomist and say it will go swimmingly.
