It would make life easier. It's do-able without doing so, but will hurt your hands from stretching after a while. |

i disagree. you can plug the hole that goes from the vac tube to the intake manifold, and there is no need to drain fluid. as for dropping the tranny, do you know anyone who can replace the modulator without doing so and without lowring the exhaust at the same time? if so let me know, since I had to pay my mech for 2hours worth of labor to do it. |
