Take one Cusco Twin Disk, Throw in 23k miles of use, Add in my naievity, and what do you get? An engineer that thinks the idle rattle is his tranny when it's actually his clutch. Apparently when Twin disks are new they're silent at idle, but when they get some age and use to them the tolerances open up and they'll talk to you at idle. I didn't see how this was possible and I was still a skeptic. So I called 5 other shops and confirmed this. I felt like a fool for getting so angry, and like a fool for sending my tranny out for repair of a problem that wasn't in the tranny.

Now that you've been through a few of tranny removals from the EVO, may I field couple of questions for you?

1.) How high do you jack your EVO for the removal?
2.) Where do you, and how do you place your jackstands?
3.) How do you lower and raise the tranny into position?

Short answers are fine, as I'm trying to get a better idea on how to best get the tranny out of the EVO as a DIYer.
