Not bad dude.... You will enjoy it just treat the transmission decent and it will be ok and just make it a point to get it rebuilt if you plan on making thr car faster

If you have an extra car , the tools , the money , and a freind to help , a location to leave the car , changing out your own transmission is no problem.

Problem is the extra car , the tools, the money , and a freind to help , a location to leave your car.


lol
But if you do happen to have all those things i suggest doing it yourself you'll gain allot of experience from it and you'll realize really how simple it is

Changing out your own transmission that is.
