Dammit man. I hate setbacks that include shipment of parts, which is a good percentage of them haha.

Well, if you happen to live in north eastern Florida I would be willing to help out with the install, but you prolly don't so best I can say is good luck!!

It'll probably take a week to get all the parts, and I'll have my daughter for the first time in 6 months from this weekend through next weekend, so that already puts it off for 3 weeks. Then I have to go to my dad's house and get tools for next time, cause that was a bitch to take apart. We had it handing by the top 3 tranny bolts and no way to break them when we had to start putting it all back together cause I need a car. I'm not looking forward to doing this shit again, but it has to be done, and I need to change my clutch anyway.

Anyone know how to repressurize the clutch peddle? That was all I lacked having everything reassembled last night.

Sephitrask,
Thanks for the offer... I'm in Tennessee though.

I'll take any help I can get though to keep this process from taking 5 days again... there's no reason that it should have taken this long... It's just a bitch with hand tools, and trying to "make due" with a very limited selection. I need a 3ft extension and a wobble socket to get to the tranny bolts easier for next time.

What do you mean by "repressurize" the clutch pedal? you mean as in bleeding it out so it doesn't hit the floor instantly when you push on it? When I had to replace my clutch master cylinder I bled it out at the point were the line going to the slave cylinder connects, cause I didn't want to deal with the slave cylinder. However, if you had the whole thing apart, bleed it from the slave. below is a link to the factory service manual on that. The only thing I would add it to unbolt the slave from the transmission and the bracket holding the line, it will make the process MUCH easier.

yep, thanks for those.. I printed them so I can resolve that tonight hopefully.
We'll pray that I can still get this in by deals gap... I still have to replace my clutch anyway, so it may be a possibility. I have to get started on my other project that I want ready for deals gap too...

reddozen · 04-22-2011, 09:18 PM

Now to tune...

diabolical1 · 04-22-2011, 09:56 PM

congratulations on getting it in, but with a week left to Deals Gap, i suspect you'll be quite busy this week. good luck.

Sephitrask · 04-23-2011, 07:06 AM

Oh shit! Have it ready for this week, I want to hear it!!!!!!!!
