always fun to have a bunch of parts ready for install. shame you have to do with snow on the ground though

 

[94gtfreak]

Thanks. It hasn't been to bad so far, as long as you keep movin! Hopefully have everything done this weekend but we'll see.

Sounds like fun. Get a couple nice peices of cardboard to lay on when you put that clutch in, cause concrete takes the body heat right out of you in the wintertime!

Here is where I am at as of now. Hoping to get as much reinstalled as I can tomorrow.

Got the tranny dropped

not horrible... but when installing a clutch you should always resurface the flywheel to give the new clutch a good surface to brake in on and your clutch will last longer and grip better... Id also change the fluid in your trans... might as well while you have it out...

 

[94gtfreak]

Yeah that is what I will do. What type of tranny fluid does the T5 like best?

UPDATE:

Car is almost done. Just needs a little going over and the bumper needs installed (the right way!)

Ive always ran el-cheapo wal-mart ATF, seems to work just dandy for me and i aint easy on the ol T-5

 

[Chern_889]

Did it get smacked or something? Home come you yanked the whole front end

 

[reddy351]

Tell us you resurfaced that flywheel. I could see the checking and cracking from here! Lol! Seriously, though, did you?

 

[94gtfreak]

Chern_889: Thanks for info, and no the car didnt get wrecked. I just figured it would be easire to get under the car without major problem or getting greasy nasty fingerprints on my new bumper!

reddy351: Nope, just slapped on some brake cleaner and bolted on new clutch. JK I didn't have a choice!!! Plus it was an easy $15 mod, 2 hours at the tranny shop and they were done!

Thanks for the compliments!

Nice work!

Wouldn't it be "Red Headed Mistress"?

Damn, I knew my nickname for my new Red GT wasn't unique. Guess I can't call mine my "redheaded mistress" anymore.

Nice work, BTW.

 

[94gtfreak]

Well you can still call yours red headed mistress. If you notice mine is Red Head Mistress. By the way your car looks good!

Thanks, I'm really happy with it. Can't wait to sell off the Green GT and move on.
