Anyone in NorCal/SoCal/Cali willing to help with 6spd swap?

Ok guys, so i found an entire 6 spd swap (motor, tranny, 6 spd parts and everything) for a great price. Only thing is, i need some help putting it in once it arrives. Probably in the next few months. However, i want to continue to plan ahead that way im ready to go once it gets here!

Id attempt it by myself but it would probably take near forever to do since itll be just one person and ive never attempted anything like this before but im down to learn along the way. And i know enough to not be scared to try this lol. Plus ive been reading through everyones swap threads in the 2g section for the past 2 months to make sure of what i need i.e parts etc.

So if anyone knows someone who has experience with doing this swap or have done it before or would like to help out a fellow azine member id appreciate it!

Ill be checking this thread daily to see if theres anyone out there willing to lend a hand. Im located in elk grove, ca which is in sacramento and if anyone wants to hit me up ill leave my number or you can pm me im always on either lurking or posting haha. My numbers 916 544 2184 for the fastest way to reach me. My names Teo (tay-oh) for those who dont know me.

Im looking forward to this swap and to learning more about my car so hopefully there are a few people out there who would love to help me out!

Did you look at fsttyms1 swap thread? He did a 6speed swap on his 2000 TL. I kinda scan over it and it might seems like he got what your needed. I don't mind lending a hand, dont know much about tranny swap but dont mind to helpin out. Let me know if you needed help. Free mostly on the weekends.

Good luck with the swap

Actually, I mean I already have every single part on hold needed for the 6 spd swap i just have to pay the guy the rest for the swap before he ships it. Which will be next month, thats more clear than my last post.

Hookin up the clutch unit might be the hardest. So I'm thinkin putting in the easiest parts first.

I'm pretty sure Gary may help you out he has never done anything like that but he knows the CL TL fairly well.

I still havent received an email from those 2 hopefully soon though.
