hey r3v.... you wont believe it....

did you have to disconnect the drive shaft?

Nah you don't have to disconnect the driveshaft. If your shifter is sloppy, might as well just refresh everything. Aside from the bitch clip, it's not too hard.

Slide under the car and it is all in view. I did a complete shifter overhaul with a hooked prong tool and a 13mm on a swivel and extension. first remove the bitch clip with the prong tool, then remove the rear brace with the 13 millimeter and swivel.

YYYEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!! McRibs all around???

so i went about checking them with a jack and giving them a good amount of groping.

they appear to be perfectly fine, no cracking no sign of failure, i can jack the tranny up and the mounts are solid, let it down hard and they dont even move. same with the engine.

About time, took forever but that feeling you have it what I have been setting fire to your ass for. I'm damn proud. No joke, a real happy smile on my face. I remember when I swapped an eta engine the first time. That first fire after lots of hard work never fades. It is a great feeling/rush. Now get it smogged and drive your e30!

Can I do this with a jack instead of a pry bar?

You can, but you risk splitting them from the jacking force. Pry bar is the best way.

For your transmission popping it sounds like a a syncro is going. Did you check the fluid level?

Congrats! but didnt have a doubt in my mind it would start up, they were made to run forever :D

[Pantless Spency]

Grab a prybar and carefully pry up on the transmission while you are looking at the trans mounts. Do the same for the motor mounts.

Drove it around town with e21 plates.... Damn transmission is giving me issues. It loves to pop out of 1st and 2nd and stay in 2nd sometimes.

Not sure what it is but every time it's gonna pop out if I feel it not Go into gear all the way and put it back to neutral and let the clutch out it makes this terrible THUD sound like you ran over a 2x4 at 20 mph..... No idea what it is, shifter linkage messed up?

Funny I was like why is he making a thread about a intake strap when his car doesnt even run. Nice job on getting it to run.

It might be something as simple as the oil switch wire got tugged on and it's not making contact any more. But don't drive the car until you figure out what's wrong. Low oil pressure will kill your car REALLY fast.

[Pantless Spency]

:D just drove it around the block for the first time in nearly two years, such a different beast then the e21. Best part is all the bushing bits and suspension bits feel like a thousand bucks compared to what the e21 feels like haha!

Inspection light is on tho, and oil light is on too.... Not sure why, hope I didn't overfill it.


Time to switch the plates from the e21 and go get some gas.
