Sure you installed the throwout bearing right? Also,make sure that cable end isn't hanging up on the bellhousing.

Installed all parts correctly,triple checked. My worst fear was it's the newly rebuilt trans,and,............ Sure as that's what it was,I pulled it this morrning.when I put it in first input shaft won't turn.all other gears no problemo. Glad my original t5 is still good its going back in till I get that other one taken care of.

One f,ing thing after another.Took the wife out for a ride , just crusing,shifting,down shifting,she says it feels smooth and I say it's a little louder then before.She seems to think it's the same.after about a 45 min drive we head home.three blocks from home,at a traffic light,I hear a ting,I said something fell off the car,she said it sounded like a coke bottle hitting the floor.the battery light comes on and I shut the lights and hall as home,blowing the one traffic light in my way.it pukes coolant,open the hood and the smog pump pulley is gone baby gone.we jump in her tourass and head back to the scene.She finds the pulley,it shredded off from the plastic vanes .I remember replacing it back some twelve years ago,when Oreilleys was checkers . They can have one tommarow.$237 WTF.for a reman.I give him my phone # and he can't find warrantee. Lucky me I still got the receipt, I paid $49.99 on 3/17/08.Can you believe it quadrupled in price.oh I need a belt too.

I bypassed it with a different belt. If you have air I think I can give you the number. I had a very hard time with the string method at the time.

I am glad you had the receipt. CYI for everyone else, Checker, Shucks, Kragen & Autoworks lifetime warranties are covered by the name, O’Reilley’s, since they bought out the big, older company.
I checked it about my tools and the generator on a ‘61 I bought cir. 1992. New employees may not know it, so be prepared to ask for the manager. Being a Karen about it is optional.
