How hard is it to replace a transmission? A4

Well, the trans in my 94 is slipping worse each day, so found a rebuilt trans that can handle 550 rwhp, can i swap transmissions without any special tools or any tips for a trans swap?

Its not hard just time consuming, you'll need some long extensions for the bellhousing bolts.

yeah I did a trans swap this past spring. It was very time consuming, but really isnt too difficult. Long extensions and an impact wrench are your friend.

I would but if i'm buying a door, spoiler, and a trans, i'm out of money, and i dont think you do freebies lol So, i'm forced to tackle this one, i've done them before in the GTO and my 89 RS, but they were a hassle

All you really need is someone to help you. I removed mine without an impact or any other special tools. Took about 3 hours, but wasn't really that bad.
