Hey guys.. so yeah.. Jokers old car came with an SROD tranny that I kinda.. well sorta... yeah.. did blow up. I knew it was coming lol...

I bought a good condition T-5 with bellhousing and shifter and im going to buy a stock clutch from oreily's next week. Since the T-5 comes with the bellhousing and shifter can I do this tranny swap myself? Is there anything weird I need to know about thats different from the SROD and T-5 that will cause a problem? Or should it all bolt right back up and be on the road again? I was thinking of putting the car on stands and using a jack in my driveway to remove and install the trannies. Can this be done at a driveway by myself with a buddy? We are both wrench-capable and have common sense.

Can someone give me tips or advice on this or if I can do it myself?
