I have been turbod for alittle more than a year now with my car, I still had the stock clutch and it hasnt been holding very well at all and my oil pan leaked pretty bad. Those were to very important things to fix before I drive the car more. (I have only driven it like 1k miles) I ordered a rear main, oil pan gasket, 618 pressure plate, sachs sport throwout bearing, clutchnet sprung 6 puck, new fan clutch (getting alittle warm in traffic), CSB, Guibo, urothane motor mounts, new tranny mounts and a few other little things here and there.
The pile o' parts...
Pulling the pan.
The 260 out of the car...
The stock pressure plate and disk have seen much better days..
Flywheel waiting for resurfacing and pan waiting for welding.
Welded return instead of a bulkhead fitting (CRAP)
Refreshed pan in and new urothane mounts (My friend Sam showing his appreciation for the project...)
New clutch in
All in all the project went really smooth. I started at 5 on friday, got the tranny dropped and the pan out that night. Woke up the next morning at 7 to eat breakfast at my friend Sam's shops weekly breakfast at a local diner. We have his boss TIG my oil pan since I paid for breakfast. While he was doing that, Sam and I pressed on and off the center support bearing and dropped the flywheel off to be resurfaced.
That day we got the pan, motor mounts, rear main, flywheel, clutch all in the car. Then today we finished everything and just got the car going at about 11 pm tonight. I am exhausted, sleep deprived and perma greesy. There is a leak at the oil filter housing I need to fix. I fixed the others. I know alot of you wondered how the clutch would be, It is VERY ON OFF, I expected it to be though. The pedal is very stiff now from the upgraded PP. It does the job and isn't going to slip any time soon at all. I am overall very pleased other than a couple little things.
