<p>Also, HUGE thanks to <span>@yank first time swapping a tranny and it would have been a lot harder without him. His 6 ton jack stands made a difference too.</span></p>

I got my acceleration back. The car has felt sluggish since I put in the 3.9. This changed that. Its got the kick in the *** that I was missing. On the other hand I hate shifting the 6 speed. It feels like I have to aim to get it in gear. It doesn't just slide in like the 5 speed. </p><p>Speaking of which. **** this trans. You should not have died yet. JK you did me well even though I ragged on you hard.

No female spillage yet. I have 4 roommates and have managed to keep none of their stuff in there somehow...shows how much **** I have. With the rest of the auction car interior, and new welder its gonna get tight.
<br />Thanks to G I remembered to get driveshaft bolts this morning.
<br />For future reference I run 3/8-16-1" grade 8 bolts with a lock washer and nut as my replacement Miata driveshaft bolts.

It's called organization, you have none. I'll be you $20 I have more useable tools and storage in my single car garage.
5S's, tell me they taught you those in engineering school.
Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain. Look it up.

I have 4 S's. I'm horrible at sustaining though. Its a lot cleaner after I clean up from a project. 5 speed needs to go back in its corner. Tools need to be picked up. Vacuum needs to find a ******* home. I hate trying to organize a shop vac. It spreads everywhere. I'm not an organized person lol. Doesn't work like that. So I just take up a lot of space lol.
<br />I'm also not allowed to bring car parts inside. So the rest of the auction car is going there too.

Oh man, I found an awesome wall mounted shop vac at Sears. I really wish I had found it because now I can't. Had a great hose hanging method and everything. I think it was the only logical shop vac design I've ever seen.
