I thought everyone bought clutches for the way they look?

Let us know how you dig the twin disc.

Got my friend to come by and help bleed the clutch.

With the remote bleeder it is "duck soup".

Stuck one end in the reservoir and he just slowly pumped it till there weren't any bubbles.

Used this stuff:

Then there was the BIG TEST.

I crawled underneath the car and had my friend step on the clutch pedal while I tried to turn the output shaft on the transmission.

I could feel the clutch disengage and then the output shaft turned freely by hand with no binding at all.

WHOO ******* WHOO!

you lucky SOB!

Thanks!

We shall see how lucky when I finally get to slip the clutch and see if I don't loosen up a filling.

Is this sick or what?

I just took the clutch money (I sold my Monster) and ordered a 320 lph fuel pump.

Ordered the wrench also as the one for the Vette won't work (of course).

Here is a suggestion for those of you doing a clutch job:

If you are too cheap to buy long bolts or threaded rod to assist in the re-assembly, you can use the starter motor mounting bolts.

Nice find! You needed to take out starter, or just replacing? How the hell did you find that out?

heavymetals

I removed the starter to do motor mounts and noticed the length and thread of the bolts matched what I used for re-install.

I may in fact have used them the first time I did the clutch.

Not at the moment, but I figured that since I am doing all this work, why the ***** not "fix" the fuel system?

If I do it now, I won't have to go through all the jacking up/down of the car plus the downtime (not that I care so much).

More good/great news on my phucking PCM!

Been screwing around with it since August (smog crap).

Was 1/2" away from getting the car all together and selling it.

Things are looking up!

Here is the rear shock support bearing converted to a spherical bearing.

PDAFT does not make these anymore, but I found another vendor (I think).

Do you have a bigger picture by chance that is micro sized. I contacted PFADT and they stated the same deal, I also found a few vendors from online searches. I am trying to find somebody to go half with. I got Kw V3 kit installed and cs diff bushing it's like a proper car perhaps even bimmer like feedback.

I have to finish putting my car back together.

I got sidetracked shipping out my old stuff.

Also, I sort of tweaked my back, but all is well now.

What sold me on the KW setup is when I saw a V set up with one.

The new driveshaft looks ****.

heavymetals

iTrader: (3)

HAHAHAHA

The joke is on me I guess.

Not less then an hour after I get the brake line **** sorted out then I run into another problem.

The driveshaft weights hit the shifter.

MOD HELL.

Weird. Do you have a short shifter? Does shifter to transmission connection sit significantly lower than the oem shifter?

heavymetals

One other person had the same GD problem with their driveshaft.

The diameter is quite a bit larger.

I have a UUC shifter.

I've never had to remove my starter to do MM's.....but I always disconnected my battery since it's pretty close

I ended up raising the shifter about 1/2 inch by altering the way it was mounted in the car. I had also flipped the nylon bushing around that support the shifter ball, but that made the shifting to clunky.

That driveshaft seemed to really stiffen up the car. It took a little getting use to.

heavymetals

I am waiting for an RA from the driveshaft people.

OH WELL.

I looked at grinding on the shifter, and I may when the shaft is out and I feel like taking the GD thing apart again.

MOD HELL
