Ok. so I have not driven my car in about 3 years. The usual suspects at play here, work, family money. About 2 years ago I decided to start stock piling stuff to do the six speed set up.
So about a month ago I decided it was a good time to address some issues in the car and get all the bugs out of it, drive it a bunch, before I go with a 6 speed LS engine. And it begins..... Started with a carb rebuild.... new fuel tank, new fuel lines, new trans mounts, new shift rod bushings, new rad fan, new thermostat....ect I go to drive it for the first time last night and the clutch pedal goes to the floor even before I start the car. OK, not a big deal, cable popped out at trans. Put it back on, and this time started the car. Wont go in a single FREAKIN GEAR!!!!!! So shut the car off and start to try to see if I can get it into gear that way. Of course, no reverse, 2 or 4 with the car off. Have no idea what changed since the new shift rod worked before the bushings. I think the clutch cable adjustment, and the shifter are both out of wack at the same time? I just want to go drive my damn car!!!! There I'm done. |

Are you running the 901 currently Yes sir right now the car has a 901/914 OK, got to go drive. Took it to the local gas station to fill up and of course a cop was there to lecture me about my exhaust..... blah... is no louder than a harley so whatever. All the gears work and it goes, didn't over heat and was fun. Now I have a stuck left rear caliper to replace but I was kinda expecting that. I will say one thing, it's not nearly as fast as I remembered. I guess working on performance cars at the shop where I am employed has desensitized me to it. Its coming time for the 6 speed and the LS engine!!!!! |
