Re: Project Lex
Got the trans out. Took a total of probably 5hrs over the course of 3 days. The FFIM that I had put on made it a bitch because it hit the brake boost when I was trying to tilt the engine back to get at the last too bolts. So that delayed me a bit. That manifold is too f-ing big. I am going to look for something else, I really hate it and I don't want to put it back on. But none the less it's out.
The clutch disc looks like shit. Nothing was welded together, but it was stuck to the pressure plate where the center piece was falling apart and wrapping around the pressure plate clamping surface. Maybe that's what was causing the issue? But truthfully not the smoking gun I thought I was going to find.
Anyway, gotta wait for the Collins kit to arrive. In the mean time I'm sourcing a new clutch setup and also a new intake manifold setup. I did get the new slave in for the new adapter, holy fook it's beefy!
Also got my Megan rear lower control arms in. That should help me deal with camber and hopefully get a better footprint to help with traction.
That's all for now, here's some pics!
