904 differences

I hear ya,
I did a rear main seal in my motorhome with a 454 2 days before a long drive and a five day campout for Thanksgiving.
Pulled the two piece driveline w/center carrier, pulled the trans, the flywheel, jacked the engine up, reached inside the pan and removed the oil pump, took the pan off and replaced the seal, then put her all back together in reverse order.
It was fun putting the pan back in place then reaching inside it without being able to see anything and seating the oil pump shaft and putting the pump back in. NOT
The pump and bolt were laying in the pan and I had about 3-4 inches to reach in there and bolt it back up and had to do all by feel.

ON THE GROUND IN MY GRAVEL DRIVEWAY!

Now when I think something mechanical I have to do sucks, I think back on that and I feel better.:D

I'm alrerady avoiding the heavy foot out of fear for the conversion joint and stock 904 front yoke so thats not really going to be an issue , except here in town where I may have already put that to the test eh :-\" , I am already using the spring mod and it has helped the shift firmness quite a bit so i guess I'm going to just have to go for it and let the chips fall , this is getting to be an annual thing last year I dropped the new motor in 4 days before leaving on my cross country adventure and this year it's the trans haha . Well kimmer I haven't heard back from you about my pit stop but I have your address and will be showing up probably on Monday the 13th :yawinkle: should I bring it to the shop or the house ?
