hopefully you have a hydro si trans and not a cable

word of advice, ontop of what teal said:

- have someone underneath to push on the small side of the housing
- have someone hold the housing by the flywheel
- have someone else just incase you need to readjust your grip


i had 3 friends over at the time.

one to hand bolts, 2 to help, and myself. easiest install ever.
