Definitely worth the $1000. Now just need to get the engine sorted and remove all the super rusty parts.
[edit]: I think my neighbor doesn't like me anymore, lol.

The sliders are bad and 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear synchros don't have much life left on them either so I'm looking at $1k in synchros, another $6-800 in gears and parts, seals, probably bearings, etc. Kind of sucks being ripped off but I got it so long ago it doesn't matter now. I'm not completely surprised. I was lied to about the motor being good but it had spun bearings also. It's a good thing I almost broke even parting out the car.
So I decided instead of dumping so much into that rebuild I'll get my 6-speed in the car fixed. It grinds so the synchros and gear are probably shot. Hopefully nothing else is bad but I may replace the 1st and 2nd friction rings in it while I'm in there. I know it was rebuilt but I'm hoping whoever did it didn't use the brass synchros. Given how fast 3rd gear went out I bet that's what happened. :( I'm getting free labor on the transmission R&R for helping a guy put his car back together and tune his 16Ts after 5 years of him not driving. He's still beside himself with it running.
Pulled the motor and transmission. I was surprised I had enough height to pick it from the side. I always do the front but didn't want to roll the car back.

I found something interesting on the clutch. The miles are very low maybe 1-2k. It's barely used. However, the springs were about to pop out. I can wiggle the center part of the disk from the wear where the springs are plus I found cracks all the way through on some of the pads. It doesn't surprise me coming from Spec. I bet this clutch is only 3-4 years old.

I may try to have it rebuilt and use it or sell it. I've got new Southbend and Competition clutches sitting on the shelf if I have to go that route.
I'm planning on getting rid of the stupid lightweight crank pulley in favor of an OEM damper, swapping around some stuff on the A/C delete for the alternator belt, swapping exhaust manifolds for a ported set, checking my bearings out of curiosity even though my oil pressure was 18-19 at idle warm, installing 20T turbos, and hopefully have it back on the road soon. :)
I think the last time I had to do that, I sent in cores to Rock Auto. I'd check there.Quote:
