Summary of my problems:

trouble getting into first gear - usually have to back off and try again

noise in first gear when accelerating. Can't confirm the noise in other gears.

Leaking front tranny seal, the one that requires pulling the tranny anyway.


I was getting ready to send my 84 volvo with M46 and OD to the junkyard for $650. I could concievably swap the trannies and still get my $650 from the junkyard. Is this a weekend project in a home garage? I imagine I need to get the car pretty high off the ground to get this tranny out from underneath, and don't know what all is holding it in there. Might as well drop in a new clutch while I'm there, or so I hear.
