Hey, anyone know of a place I can yank my transmission out at? I'd say a day to pull it, a week to rebuild it, then a few hours to install it again.

I'd like a lift or something more convenient than jackstands in my parent's garage. I don't mind throwing down some cash for using one or having a business help me. Any hookups that you guys know of (locally)? I know there are drop off tranny shops, but I'd like to be there if possible... TIA!

Try to keep this on subject.

I'd personally go to DB if the funds permit but if not find a buddy that's in the military and go on post and do it. I've met some of the most mechanically inclined people ever in the on-post shops. I guess if you can pull a transmission out of a Bradley Fighting Vehicle in a combat zone a Subaru becomes a cake walk.

Ya, Fresno is a bit far. Well let me know if anything is available in the near future. Thanks for the reply.

Yea, not gunna make a 2 hour drive just to use a lift. I also highly doubt a business like that would let a customer work under a car for liability reasons.

I'm just going to get some syncro work done to it. I have a good friend that's a Subaru mechanic so all I have to do is get it pulled out for him and I just pay for parts if needed.
