if u r just pulling the old box out and replacing with a new its just straight forward . drop one out lift other up bolt on and way u go . if u r going to change the clutch at the same time then u have to line the clutch up , if u want to do that let me know and i'll post for u .as long as u know the basic stuff , undo tail shaft all bellhousing bolts including starter , slave , unplug wiring , take the gearstick out , i think that covers it as u have a push clutch it will come out no probs . r33 with pull clutch is a different story .

thats what i said before if u want to pull the clutch out ( good idea while the box is down ) to inspect and maybe change it if half or more worn then u have to line it up so u can put the box back up .if u dont line it up the box will never go back .once u have the box down undo all the bolts that hold the clutch assembly and pull the clutch pressure plate off . have a look at the clutch plate for wear and if 1/2 worn u need to get a clutch kit ( new clutch plate , new or rebuild pressure plate , new thrust bearing and a new spiggot bush or bearing ( not sure if ur car has bush or bearing ). i would take the flywheel off and get it machined ( 30-40 $ ). install the spiggot then flywheel ( i always use locktite on the bolts ) then the pressure plate with clutch ( make sure u put the clutch plate the right way )use locktite on the pressure plate bolts . before u do the pressure plate tight u line up the spine of the clutch plate to make sure its in the middle its got to be spot on ( u can buy a tool to do that ) i have old g/box input shafts to line up my clutches . as long as its lining up when u lift the g/box up threre it will go in u just turn the box left to right a little so spline of the shaft doesnt hit the clutch spline and u r sweet .if it doesnt line up it wont go cause the pressure plate presses the clutch plate hard and it wont move . i hope it this helps u , by the way u r lucky it has a push clutch and not a pull one .

as for machining the flywheel have a look if it hasnt got burn marks ( if u drive like a grany it may not ) then dont worry but i always do it .

if got another clutch with the new box that u r instaling check it out if nearly new use it if not dont risk it . u can get a new clutch kit for u r car for 200 - 250 ( stock )

    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going. 
    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.
