snap ring pliershttp://weisstool.com/store/products/AP-9404.jpg and if that doesnt work....bust out the screw drivers and shoot it across the room and hope to find it :D

its such a tight fit in there i dont want to mess it up,this is my first manual trans tear down.but maybe a really small screw driver will work.thanks

[3kgtdrvr]

wait, bodydropped, i was just kidding, i mean unless u wanna go that route. its not the best idea but itll work lol i mean i dont know how much help ill be but i have rebuilt manual trannys in class before if u want me to come check it out ill be more than happy to take a look

it should work,the snap ring is inside the trans and wont go flying out across the room.im more concerned with putting it back together,im guessing it will snap back together.only one way to find out.

Snap ring is still engaged. pry it back an the case should slide right off

so will it go back together easy or will it be a pain? thanks for the tip.

[3kgtdrvr]

as long as u dont start taking like too much stuff apart like all the gears and syncos and syncro sleeves and all it should just slide back in

[Vteckidd]

it goes back in the same way it came off. it takes a little skill, but it works.

thanks

got it apart easily,cant get it back but oh well.all i need is the part where the aaxles slide in how can i remove those? im guessing i need to remove the big gear with it. any suggestions.
