Well my trans & clutch replacement was a success. :up: Started putting everything back together last week on Monday. I had a rallycross this past weekend so I had to hustle all last week, it was brutal. I would go to work, go work out, then go work on my car and go to sleep late everyday. I was sooo tired. Thursday night was especially brutal, it was the day to physically lift the trans into the car. No transmission jack + car not lifted high enough to lay on my back and put the trans on my chest was BRUTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Took me many hours. Ended up using my floor jack and scissor jack to slowly lift the trans into place. Then actually getting the input shaft to line up with the clutch was extremely frustrating (yes I used the alignment tool but that plastic has a lot of play... next time in the future I will cut a real input shaft off a junk trans). It was 3 in the morning and I was ready to give up and sell my car and all my parts for $1000. I don't like to quit but I honestly gave my best effort and I was exhausted from hustling all week and not getting any sleep. I was really convincing myself that it was ok to just stop what I was doing and get rid of everything, and then the input shaft finally slid into the clutch. At that point I started all the bellhousing bolts, went to sleep at 4:15AM and woke up in a couple hours to go to work. After work on Friday I finished putting together the rest of the car in the evening, test drove it for 15 minutes, everything seemed good, packed my tools/tires/etc into my car and went rallycrossing Saturday and Sunday. Transmission didn't explode and I didn't have any problems during the weekend so all was good :up: :up:.
Now I can sleep

Props to Ian for working on my car this past weekend. He did some drive shaft work and swapped in new shifter hardware for me.
Dropped the car off on Saturday morning, it was ready for pick up that evening. I know of no other mechanic or work shop who has that fast of turn around, especially on the weekend.
So nice to be able to use 2nd gear again. The giubo and CSB were pretty worn, felt like the drive shaft was going to shoot through the floor any minute if I accelerated.

I've been laughed at, or questioned when I pronounce it correctly, so I just say it phonetically. No point arguing over something so minor.
For some reason, my browser always tries to correct it to the incorrect spelling.
