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.
