A big milestone, engine and tranny are back in car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks to all who have helped me get this far.
I have reconnected clutch cable before anything else as I want to make sure this whole thing with the arm is correct. I now have 3/4 -1" play when pulling pedal up. I think there is still enough slack in cable that excess pressure is not on TOB. When pedal fully depressed to floor there is about 3/8" (rough measure) remaining before arm would hit the trans case. Here is pic of cable end. Does everything sound like it is within spec? Thx |

Are you testing this with the engine running? If so, can you put it into reverse? If you're testing this without the engine running, what you think is first gear might actually be third and you may need to make an adjustment at the shifter to et the full pattern back. There are lots of threads about how to do that, but the most important thing is to mark where the bolts are now so you have a baseline to return to if you get lost fiddling.
When you put the heat exchangers on, don't bolt them up tight until you make sure the muffler bracket lines up properly. And be really careful not to lean or put pressure on the exchangers before the bracket is on...lots of leverage there and it doesn't take much force to damage the heads. |
