Rear main seal and i think that's it for now

So far I have uninstalled the auto shifter cable,shifter,and brake pedal. I have the holes cut for the clutch pedal and MS. Just got a little trimming to do for the MS to go all the way in. Brake pedal is in place just have to bolt it down. Both front struts removed. 6spd Shifter is sitting in place, just have to get 2 long bolts to bolt down the back part. For the front all i did was cut the rubber bushing in half, and placed it under the bottom of the shifter,which it gave me enough thread to use the existing studs.

Started running the shifter cables, but the hole has to be drilled out larger. In the process of doing that i think i screwed the cable up. Don't know for sure yet. I heard something snap when i was trying to pull it back out. I'm thinking it was just the plastic tube that goes around that one particular cable. I saw it moving up and down. Hopefully it's nothing major. I did take a few pics i'll post Them later.

Yeah thanks. Hopefully i'll be done with the swap and suspension by next week this same time. I really only have Saturdays to work on it. After work doesn't allow me but maybe 2hrs to work on it so.

Update. Transmission is out, shifter cables ran,Pedals and master cylinder all bolted in. Hopefully on Monday i will get to install the flywheel and put my stuts and springs together. I just have one question. Does it matter which way the arrow is pointing, on the shifter cable plate that bolts to the firewall?

well this is taking longer than i expected, because i barely have time to work on the car. Since the last time i have gotten several things done. I went ahead and ordered shifter bushings got those installed. ES lca bushings installed on the control arm and Ball joints . New wheel bearing pressed in.H&R/kyb Front strut and spring is also together.Still have to do the back. Also got my Fidanza flywheel and Competition clutch in. After i get my ES motor mounts in i'll put the tranny in. I just ordered a 1 piece ss clutch line and 3 quarts of Amsoil gear oil on yesterday. Got my oem shifter boot and **** on the way also. Dam those things are hard to find. Anyway here's some more pics. Still have to get pics of shifter bushings and spring/strut.[IMG][/IMG]

while i was tightening the pressure plate i accidentally stripped 1 of the thread holes on the fly wheel will that cause a problem?

Happens quite often on Fidanza you have to be very very careful! And i had one not strip out but it would not tighten all the way, ended up using a longer bolt. Also used longer bolts in the matching holes for balancing purposes.
