The post whore thread.

Oh don't you worry, no one will ever confuse me for a mechanic. Think I can swap the clutch in an hour? I have absolutely zero intention of doing anything with the flywheel. Hell, I'm considering not even touching the clutch.

Howdy ho's...

Nice fortitude, Irving. You're getting after it, and that says a lot.

Hope all you guys have a good weekend.

Pulled clutch, it probably could have just stayed in there for how much longer this car has left in life. However, I've gotten the new one already, might as well learn to do it correctly (minus having the flywheel machined).

Get the $10 alignment tool for the clutch. Very good investment. Also, I'd replace the throw out bearing while you are in there, they are quite inexpensive as well.

The cylinder in the transmission is the reverse piston (hydraulic). Lets the reverse gear work.

P.S. if you get stuck give me a call. I've done quite a few clutch swaps in my day.

The clutch came with the alignment tool. I've got it on, just need to run over to the neighbor to get a reducer so I can use the torque wrench I borrowed. I'd invite you over, but I wouldn't put this nightmare on anyone. I don't think my garage will ever be clean again.

That's a sign of a REAL garage. Clean garages are for kids and spouses crap, they don't have room for in the house. Think this will fit in the garage? [facepalm]

Count down time. Need to waste 15 mins before the weekend.

[ROFL2] You've never been in the shop, have you. There's only toys, tools and reloading items in there. Sure we can squeeze a truck and mini car in during extreme weather, real extreme.
one more reason for that road trip with OBC, providing there's no capitol hill save the males conference.
