im curious as to how many people have swapped 5th gear out before. I recently junked my 7a trans that has a .71 5th gear and bought an awy with .89 5th gear and would like to swap them. I tried last nite but was not able to figure out how to get the 5th gear out of my old trans. I tried to remove the bolt holding down the one gear set but could not remove it. is there a special way to remove it? Any info would be great i would love to have my .71 5th gear back
