Before changing the clutch...

[4bangerfury]

... I took a picture. It's one of the few pictures with all four wheels on the ground. The only times I ever break out the camera is when I'm about to tear apart my car.

Why in the heck would you want to do that? That's completely unnecessary...

[AbsorbantNut]

I just did my transmission

I feel for you

[4bangerfury]

It's taking a bit longer than expected. It went from just replace the clutch to replace the clutch, clean all the gunk under the car and on the transmission, and make a new exhaust. Once the brake fluid arrives, I'll be changing the brake/clutch lines also(damn UUC for having that sale right before I do this!)

Degreaser is my friend right now.

Ughhh, im gonna have to dive into the area within the next month, gotta do about 5-10 different things including main suppourt bearing, clutch, guibo, new exuast and stuff like that, its gonna take longer then a day =/

[Dj Buttchug]

my main support bering jingles and grinds.... uhhhhh :/

Man, I would not want to do a clutch in a driveway....

[4bangerfury]

Yea, driveway isn't the best, but I've pretty much made the eta project immovable from the garage. It gets even better, I'm helping my roommate install an lsd in his Camaro at the same time next to my 318 in the driveway. I see no oil leaking from the input side of the trans, so I'll save that seal for another time. The rear seal is my next victim, that should be easier to get to and actually is leaking slowly.

And because I wanna show off what I did over the course of a few days between class at the school's machine shop:


Final result:


And actually on the car:


The resurface and balance was done by a local race engine shop. If I ever get the money, that shop will be doing anything I can't do myself on the spare m42 sitting in the garage.

You're missing all the fun because you're anti-mainland :p

I'll be working in the garage today, come on over!

Man, I would not want to do a clutch in a driveway....

try it on a slanted asphalt driveway:p

[4bangerfury]

I'm only working with a slight slant, not bad at all.

Anyone have ideas for a makeshift clutch disc aligning tool? I can't seem to get the trans all the way on and for some reason, nobody in melbourne has one (except napa, but they closed at 5:30, I got there at 5:40.
