I got my trans out of the car, packed, and shipped down to Richard Casto at Blue Sky for a rebuild.

My question is, what other work should I do now, or parts should I replace? the obvious stuff --
- new CV joint bolts (8)
- paper cv joint gaskets
- trans fluid (duh)

the cv boots look to be in good shape. Is there anything else obvious I should be doing with the trans out of the car?

thx
Rich

Check and replace with all new Shift bushings, Also new Cone screws (very important)! Maybe even check your clutch and cable? Oh and your throw out bearing.

Drew hit it on the head. Also, you do not need the paper CV gaskets. They shrink and expand allowing for the bolts to come loose and fall out. Many have abandoned the gaskets, including myself, and now just bolt the CV on, clean the outer mating surface with solvent, and seal with high temp silicon. Works good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Solid ones are not friendly for street use. Have you driven with them yet? If so and you like them, no worries. But, I would recommend the 911 mounts. Stiffer, still rubber, last forever, cost less than 914 OE ones.

I just remembered the 2 alignment roll pins! They should be roll pins not solid pins.

Richard should notice that and correct it if there are solid pins. Not hard to do. It looks like one or more are still stuck in the CV.

Hey Dr
My car rattles my teeth over bumps -- PO set it up for AX with 140lb rear springs and these solid mounts.

Are the 911 mounts available at the usual suspects (AA/PP)?

If only Greyhound would finish shipping it, I could start work on it! I suspect the delay is a victim of holiday travel demand.

Thanks Cevan -- actually, when i took the bolts off, there were no washers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Richard -- I was taking inventory last night and realized I sent you my TO bearing and clutch fork in the bell housing. I apologize for that. If you want to hang on to them that's great, if not, ship them back to me and let me know how much $$.

It's no big deal at all. About 1/2 show up that way anyhow. I only ask to not ship them as if I don't have them I can't loose them! Either way, everything sent to me gets sent back. I take an inventory when the transmission arrives. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I always have a designated box for each transmission so I know what came off of which and where to send it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
