preparing to swap m47 into 245 with auto tranny
Hello all, I am preparing to swap an m47 out of an 88 244 into an 88 245 that currently has an auto tranny. Does anyone have any tips or warnings for me before I jump into this job? I planning on doing it over the 4 day weekend coming up this 4th of July.

Bell housings would be my guess that would need to swap?
Transmission Mount
Transmission fluid on M47: .9 quart of Type F transmission fluid.
Clutch return spring replacement....cheap
Air impact gun with long extension to get to the top transmission bolts...A PAIN IF DOING IT BY HAND...
Take off your stick shift
Jack up the car high...high...I replaced my clutch (M45) and did raised the car on 4 jack stands but did not go high enough and was fighting to get transmission out as I had little room...I'd e say raise the cars bottom a good foot from normal stance to raised position.
