Can't get the mainshaft into the clutch? WD40 or grease helps out... And a lot of wiggling.

BTW, I have the same jack.

And what tranny is that? Ended up getting the JDM 98 Spec ITR one?

I've gotten them in by myself before. Just takes some work. Not too difficult. Get that thing together.

I got it in, well most of the way. It was the dowel pins preventing it from sitting properly. Spencer swung by to give me a hand. Thanks Spencer!

As for the trans, stock... Clutch stock too.

When doing it alone... it's ALWAYS those damn dowel pins that get me. And I'm a "little" guy...

Thanks Joe.
I have a dead line to get the caR running, Tomorrow by 10am

I have some plans that I would really like to keep.

Just thinking... Yeah I'll be up all night getting this going. (reminder to bring extra heater for garage

)
I still have a pretty long list that needs to be completed

What comes in a box?

What was built for me and my car?

Looks so nice an pretty.

So simple and sweet

Erik95LS · Post by **Erik95LS** » November 29th, 2007, 2:26 pm

Nice. I would really like a set. I've had a number of axle failures also, not in several years though.

Bbasso · Post by **Bbasso** » November 29th, 2007, 11:12 pm

much to my surprise the trans and axles are in!
just a few things left, traction bars header and starter.
But I did forget one thing... MTF

No problem cause I want to change the motor oil so an extra few mins tomorrow before I take it out for a drive won't kill me.

I'd be excited but pretty tired.

Erik95LS · Post by **Erik95LS** » November 29th, 2007, 11:18 pm

can't wait to hear its actually out on the road again. Good job Rob.

Bbasso · Post by **Bbasso** » November 30th, 2007, 3:27 am

Just out of the shower and time to get 5 hours of sleep. Then back to finish.
