its a big pain on that car but its not like its my dd. and its my first time messing with the FM trans. i expected to screw something up was just really hoping the mess up could have been fixed in the car. the two ways of taking it out are taking the engine out with it attached which isnt that bad, or leaving the engine in but to get the car high enough for someone who doesnt have a lift is a big pain, i have to have a special jack to jack it up once put stands on it then jack it up again to put blocks under it. then you got the torque arm and stuff, ughh

so i finally got it apart and i had the gasket right. but i put a extra gasket between the pump halves, not sure if that could be it but going back through it is not supposed to be there
