Clutch Issues...

Well i got my new clutch kit from Atkins the other day and decided it was time to change it... pull the trans mission out, pressure plate off, clutch disk out, set them on the table and go look at that... apprently i have an 83-85 12a in my 82 how how wonderful life is... new disk i bought was too small, the pressure plate was missing the 2 alignment pin holes in the middle of the bolt holes...so i tehn fought with the god damn pilot bearing.. install the new one nd throwout bearing bled teh clutch all so i can do it all over again in the near future.. and teh clutch thats in their now is toast lol so time to baby it for another week or so.. hooray for having swapped engines and not knowing it ....and so ends my saga for the day..

I hate clutch and transmission jobs. I've learned that having the RIGHT tools is key but sometimes they're expensive. Next one I do will go better.

yeah well half of my shit is already installed so all i need to do is drop teh tranny put on new pressure plate and clutch and bolt it back up.. i should be able to get it done in no time. its always the first time that sucks.. and im not sure if i should be excited or worried that my engine isnt the original.. my chassis only reads 124k so who knows if it was swapped with a higher mileage motor.. ghetto compression test shows good numbers.. it was depressing to get everything apart jsut to find out that i cant even use what i purchased.. ll in all it ws a learning experience i will never forget lol... auto trannies FTW!!!

Last fall I installed a used motor to replace my blown 12a. Started her up for the first time, only to find out that I had the wrong flywheel on it. Had to pull her out again and do it all over. Repeating work sucks, man!
