Hi Jim,

I'm about to send my '75 in for conversion release 3.0. The first one was in the mid 1990s and the second round was seven years ago.

You'll like the 4 speed version of the 901, I have never missed first and the flipped H gives a reasonable cruise on the freeway. 70mph is around 2700rpm with 205/50/15s. It feels just like a '69 Camaro 4 speed, just smaller, a little quicker and handles way better.

But when I drive mine, it always seems like there should be one more gear at the top end. I was able to find a 915 trans with 3:10 gears, and I was able to match the first 4 gears to my Renegade 901 4 speed with an extra overdrive for 5th. 70mph should be around 2100 rpm with 265/45/16s. I'm adding fuel injection this time around because the carb never worked as well as I hoped.

I will be going through the rest of the car, a lot like you're doing. Sean in San Diego will be handling the metal work (rust, stiffening, steel flares, etc.) I'll be starting a thread of my own when the car goes in to the shop next month.

Congrats on going back and doing it right. You're an inspiration to the rest of us.

Eric

Exactly how much repair is required for a car to classify as a whole new car. When I finally get my car together I've got to make it up there and see scotty's work for myself.

Looks great! I'm jealous as usual.

Here is the vid of why your intermediate plate was kah kah. The bearing should not move like that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Wow, Jim, what kind of Frenken-turd did you send me? The large bearing spins freely in the int plate, the threads on the end of the input shaft are boogered (I can save this), and your input int plate bearing is made of TWO different bearings! Never seen that one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I can fix....

All done. You needed the bearing plate replaced as well.

Parts replaced:
- Input bearing
- Bearing plate
- Intermediate plate
- Nut lock down plate
- 1st gear nut

Good thing you wanted it stock. That H gear you sent with it is toasty. There is bad galling.

All ready to go together at Scottys. I have to go deliver a baby now, which is a good thing since she may have been due when I was to go to Scotty's and that would have been complicated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Kinda cool, a few minutes ago I was rebuilding your stack - took a shower - and now gonna deliver a baby. Ya, I am a stud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

You mean you didn't try the salad spoons and/or a pry bar before hand?

thanks doc : )
jim

i'll bring you a nice H to scott's party.

the galled H we'll put into my next rebuild to see how long it holds up since the galling will be on the non contact side when run flipped.

She was stalled at 6cm, you need full dilation and station before you use the vag tools. The heart tracing was not reassuring, either, so onto the cutting board with her. She did well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I didnt tell her, "hey guess what my hands were just in before we did your surgery!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
