well! after pulling the car for 10k miles w/ f-ed up differential bearings...

the 3rd gear, 4th gear, a couple synchros, and 2 bearings has been replaced, seals changed, and tranny cleaned up.

So far, I am still unsatisfied... i still have alot of play in the shifter and it still rattles a little when driving 65mph+ . I am going back to him after 200 miles for a checkup and see if he can take care of that ****.

The clutch feels soooooo nice! i swear, the car feels like brand new now. Let's hope it lasts now...

In 2 weeks, the car goes into the bodyshop for door replacement and painting, and then the car would also look brand new!

so far, 5 miles on the "brand-new" tranny

 

glad to hear oyu finally got it back dude, hope you are satisfied after the 200 miles

 

yeah dude, im riding with messed up dif. bearings to, i had a trany put in a few months ago and turns out its no good, how much did the rebuild cost? the dude that did mine is a good family friend and is looking for a lsd trany to replace mine if he can get one it'll be free of charge, i was thinkin bout having it rebuilt b4 i put it in though

 

sorry to hear that! well, after learning your lesson the first time... i'd say get that tranny rebuilt... or maybe have your friend rebuild it for a good price? now we have pictures online to help us w/ the rebuild (frank's website: www.motorvate.ca )

The rebuild cost around $1200 w/ 1 year warranty. Let's hope it lasts for the rest of the car's life.


Well, I was driving it today... the clutch is real sweet right now! I did smell some tranny oil when I got outta the car after a nice 20 mi. drive in the heat... if it happens again, i'll check it out. No leaks and whatnot... I have to re-learn the shift points... 3rd is a ***** to get into again. I'm sure the guy used GL-5 tranny fluid too... either way, i'm going to dump at 1k miles, refill w/ GL-4, then dump at another 5k miles and put redline MT-90.

 

GL-5 will eat up your tranny.

 

good to here you got your car back nadir, i just put in my exedy clutch in too, it nice!
see ya around bro, email me sometime and we can meet up or something

Play in the shifter...


buy a new spring thats under it. Should do the trick.

 

I also have the exedy clutch installed and it has about 1200 miles on it. DO you guys have any problem with a chatter in first if you dont give it enough gas( it doesnt bog down, ot chatters) and i also have this problem when i'm downshifting 3rd down to 2nd it chatters when releasing the clutch. Otherwise its smooth as can be. Any Ideas?

Yeah springs are nice. Mine came off and now it is on the heat shield and rattles. Its on my list of things to fix.

 

I haven't felt any chattering so far... but then again I only have 30 mi. on the clutch.

Chattering is usually solved by resurfacing the flywheel. I had chattering before on my previous clutch so I made sure they resurfaced my flywheel before putting the tranny back on. It is incredibly smooth though... then again, I did have a ****ty tranny for almost half a year.
