    Transmission swap this weekend!

    Hello all and again I say Happy New Year!!

    I received my new (used, 8,000mi.) transmission and will be doing the swap this weekend. It is the whole unit (Torque conv., transmission and transfer case) all still assembled. I assume that it has been drained but to what extent I don't know. It came tie wired to a pallet with wiring harness and fuel lines still attached. I was wondering if anyone had any usefull information that might help me in this process. I would have liked to have had Isuzu Vehicross service/repair manual (Bently or other) but have not aquired one as of yet. (I still have tomorrow) I am still not comfortable with my present knowlege of how to fill the transmission and or torque convertor. I did a search on the subject but didn't find anything too illuminating other than you should take it to a dealer. I have replaced transmissions before in older muscle cars, pretty staight forward stuff but never have done this type of tranny. I will be doing it in a garage with lift and access to all tools, transmission jack etc. Just not sure about the fluid issue.

    Has anyone done this job before? Any advice or experience is appreciated!

    Thanks, Pete
