The Arctic winter broke briefly today here, with temps near 60 for the first time since late October. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) So, Stef came over and we put the new clutch and trans in. First I went to turn the lights on in the shop. . . nothin? So I open the giant double doors to the Great Midwest NARP Assembly Building, and I see something odd (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Boy, I don't remember that bank of floresent lights leaning up against my tool box. . . .

I took a die grinder and opened up the throw out fork hole in the bell housing a little bit, and the new Stage 3 p plate actually had a slightly shorter hat than the Stage 2 I took out, giving me plenty of free play, solving my travel problem without having to bend the arm as suggested by Kennedy as a possible solution. (Thanks again for the info "Rich the Lurker") (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)
Then the new & improved tall gear trans install. I just put the little bastard on my chest and sort of bench pressed it into place with Stef sitting at the ass end of the car guiding into the appropiate spot. (Insert your own joke HERE. . . . .) Went in surprisingly easy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) But now for the Hmmm (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) part. Started the car up....vrooooom. Damn, I missed that sound. Went to put in into gear, wont go. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) Tried 1st & reverse, grinds bad. Clutch felt pretty lose. No surprise. Tighten her up, try again. . . .same damn thing. Hmmmmm. Turn engine off, try to put into gears, VERY tight, but with some effort, finally goes into all gears with car off, but not really easy. Try RedBeard's linkage adjustment proceedure, a little better but not much. Start it up, still won't go into any gear without grinding. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) By that point it was time to rejoin the family back inside the ranch, so I had to call it a day in the shop. I will call Brad Mayuer tommorow and see what he thinks, but I get my best advise here, so, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) whadaya guys think??? Any ideas?
