I had been having a little trouble with first gear on my 72 1.7 with a tailshifter. I adjusted the clutch, adjusted the linkage and was a little low on fluid. I added a little more fluid and found the main seal was no good. After all that my first gear still likes to pop out when cold and 1/2 the time when warm. Looks like I have a bad slider.
Oh well, no problemo'. The white car has a resealed trans and is a side shifter to boot. Just so happens to have an injected 2.0 attached to it. I had got the engine a few years back that was rebuilt about 30-40K ago, cleaned it up and all new gaskets and hoses. The 1.7 runs great and I think it had been overhauled real recently, pressure plate looks new and the heads are very clean. I guess that will become my backup engine. Old engine. Attached image(s) |

Hell hole area, has some rust converter on it and is solid. Note the new fuel lines I put in a few weeks ago. Would have been easier to do them now with the engine out. Looks better than my last brake line routing experience.

I have the conversion bushings, pertronix and a couple more goodies coming monday. I will have to swap a CV on the inner drivers side. On the side shifter the flange on the drivers side is very galled up. I dunno if I should swap the flange, obviously that CV on the white car is toast, I will grab the opposing side CV.

Through the tunnel was not too bad. Made my 90 degree bends into the engine compartment first, and the bend to the passenger side at the front end. Insert wiggle, twist and go. A little more work than that, but that was the jist of it. I split the front grommet so I wouldn't have to thread the lines through. The lines in the engine compartment were tough, but not too bad. The trick was to get a couple extra lines for mock up then you can re-create the lines when you pull them out of the car.

The heater boxes were cut off the stock 2.0 exchangers, the 1.7 SSI's are still there on the 1.7 and in great shape, along with a bursch.

Travis, do you have a side shift motor mount? If not, I have one you can have.

Looks good Travis.... Maybe you can help me drop the motor out of my project roller in a couple of weeks! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
(Its actually half out already because the trans is dropped) |

I have the engine bar, I dropped the whole engine tranny combo from the white car, the first pic is of the engine/tranny that came out of the grey car.
Jasons - you bet! I just got a nifty tranny jack that seems to do the job real easily I had to make a new side shift mount - the one that replaces the tranny style outer mount, The original one was too bent up to use. Will post a pic in a little bit |

Stole a CV from the donor car, which cleaned up niceley. The races have some wear but nothing you can feel with your fingernails. Good enough for what I need.

Here is my side shift tranny. Check out the gouging in the flange. Seems as though someone either put the CV in backwards (and the roll pins in on the wrong side), or dissasembled the CV and put it back together backwards. The CV's should go from the inner race and expand outwards from that point - see the pic above. I had other pics of the dissasembly but they all turned out like crap. The one I will replace, I'll shoot some pics and see what kind of damage is done to it.
