CarlB Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 I am trying to get my MINI ready for autocross season and could use a little help. I need to pull the transmission to install a new limited slip and to do that you need some one to help drop and install the sub frame and drop and install the transmission. Not a bad working environment. I have a lift. Anyone like working on cars in Virginia? I live close to Fairfax County Parkway and Lee Highway.

CarlB Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Posted March 12, 2017 Thanks for the offers. I am planning for next Saturday. I will have everything ready to drop the sub frame and pull the transmission and it should not take more than two or three hours. I will need the same amount of time going back together a week or two after coming apart.
JAB 67 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Carl: Sorry but I will be in NYC next weekend. I could help anytime this week Tues-Thurs, or the following week Wed-Fri and perhaps that weekend. JAB 67 Fairfax, VA 2004 MCS, PW/B

CarlB Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Posted March 22, 2017 I got it all apart and the transmission is getting the new Quaife on Friday. Can anyone help over the weekend. I need help getting the transmission back in the car. Then a whole lot of work before needing help getting the sub-frame back in the car. Now if the shocks come back on time I can make the first autocross.
