Ok so I'm having issues with the evo3 conversion/welded diff transmission. Mainly due to driving with a dragging clutch for the past 10 months. So I picked up a backup trans, a new 2600 pressure plate, new release fork/pivot ball, new oem TOB, and a new 6 puck sprung disc. Also picked up a fidanza flywheel and put a new friction surface on it.

I'm going to swap in the new clutch and backup trans then repair/upgrade my current transmission.

Damn. Nice.

OK I was putting off changing out the clutch and transmission. Ive been daily driving with the 2nd gear pop-out and grinding 3rd gear. I drove to ham lake to drop off a Saturn cylinder head (other project in my garage), when I was arriving to my destination, the trans got stuck in 4th gear. Any other gear but 4th it would stall immediately.

Since at my house waiting for me was a fidanza flywheel, new pressure plate, new disc, new tob, new release fork, AND a back up trans/tcase, I said screw it and took off in 4th gear for the 40 mile trip back home at 3:30 in the afternoon, just as traffic was picking up in 4th gear only.

Last night after work I pulled the trans. This morning I changed the clutch and reinstalled the trans. With the lightweight flywheel, six puck disc, and without a welded diff/EvoIII parts it is definitely different to drive. Still got to break it in though. Now I'll have to start setting aside money to fix my main transmission.

I bet that was fun..Looks good. I love the way a new clutch disc looks.

[goodhart]

Haha that's some fun drivin there!

Yeah major clutch slippage required to take off in 4th gear, here are some pics of the flywheel, 2600 PP, ACT street disc after 1 year and only about 16k miles, and many launches, no lift to shifts etc.

I also put on some new rubber, I went with the Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS. 225/45/17. Although I will most likely be putting on some Bridgestone Blizzaks come snow time, I wanted to stick with an all season tire for daily driving. Huge improvement from the Falken ZE912s that I had before.
