Re: uJoint bolts... where can you get them???

Most CV driveshafts use SAE 5/16" fine thread bolts. Any decent autoparts store should have what you need (reduced head with a shoulder)

Re: AA SYE Install, Snap Ring Pliers??

Pretty much the biggest baddest ones you can find!!!!!!!!!! The snap ring that has to be removed then installed is pretty darn big (fits around the output shaft) and has a good amount of tension. Those convertible tip ones from Sears ain't gonna cut it.

Re: Manual tranny fluid...

Royal Purple makes some that is supposed to be excellent. I used Penzoil when I did my tranny swap with good results so far.
