Default oil pan gasket

going to be changing the oil pan gasket on the cabby this weekend, is it true that you can do it without seperating the tranny from the engine if you use the 1/4" size rachet?

Yep. 1/4" rachet, long extension, maybe a universal, but it is doable. Just do them first so you aren't dealing with the pan dangling down.

that's what I had heard, just wanted to make sure before I added 1/4" sizes to my collection. Time to go to the store.
