Haven't started. The part# matches up. Everyhting is good! Thanks for your help.

Justin, I'm gonna follow the evomoto write up as close as possible. The good news is the car can sit as long as necessary. I just need to acquire some tools like a slide hammer ant t-case fluid.

 

ok.... just take ur time. man.. if u need me just call. You starting today?

 

well. I called around. Wilmington shop wants $640, local shop will do it for $450 this wed. done same day. I absolutely hate the idea of paying someone to do it.

I went to the garage and eyeballed things. after reading evomoto it all makes sense. My only concern is that I only have 1 jack. If i'm using it to hold up the engine, I don't have one to help get the trans out, and to re-align it going back in. Is it truly one of those thing that's worth $$$ someone to do it? Is it bc it's a total pain in the a**?

 

yes total... TOTAL pain.. i never do them alone ( always recruit a friend that works with me to help) we always have a screw jack under the oil pan and a trans jack under the tranny... you aint gonna pull it out by yourself either.. always have to use a big pry bar to get the diff to clear the cross member/cradle/... if u REALLY insist on doing it urself u better have 2 people helping you.

 

hmm. I can score a screw jack for the oil pan. Once the car is on stands, I'll have the jack to use for the trans. Damn it jim...what to do...hahaha I've got prybars. Only thing I need is a pull hammer. You have one that's rigged to pull the output shaft? I was thinking a bolt with a large couple of washers on it and using the claws on the pull hammer to get it out. You have something you made up to do it?

 

I gave in. Took the car in for the clutch. I gotta get those 500 break in miles on it asap.

 

hahaha good... hope they know what they are doing... and fuqq break in miles.. you puttin a twin plate in... give it hell she will be ok

 

yup twin plate. I gotta get rid of that castrol syntorq fluid in the trans. It made it soooo notchy. I'm going back to oem fluid.

What is it..500 miles break in?

 

no... dude for real.. that ***** doesnt need break in.. but yeah i tookl it easy on mine for all of 100 miles....

 

that's prob. all mine is going to see. My #1 priority tho is getting that trans fluid right. The shifting sucks a** now.

 

yeah.. get that **** up outta there man...

 

tomorrow. :-( I hope they don't charge me for the extra time they are taking. the quote was 640.

 

dude thats cheaper than anywher else... do you know what their labor rate is.. like 85/hr?? ours is 90/hr and book time on that fuqqer is about 10.4 hrs

 

I know. My garage isn't heated...so that's why I jumped on it. Like I said tho, they are keeping it for a day and a half. Hopefully they don't charge me for the day and half. hahaha Theirs is 80/hr

 

Whats going on dudes,the silver beast is going under operation tommorow about to install some cams,fuel pump,and maybe some meth.Yo bob send the info for your turbo I want to send mine off soon.How's everyone in j-ville?Justin, I guess you're keeping the car?
