What did you do today to your 3/S?

[IPD]

didn't know you were getting surging, paul. keep us posted on how/what you use for balancing it.

So, I did some experimenting with some different paints, and here's what I came up with. I was using a GM paint called Torch Red. After spending some time comparing that was the very closest I could get to our own Firestorm Red.

What I had done was use two different primers to see which one would darken, or lighten the color of the Torch Red to make it a more acceptable pair with the original on my car. In the pictures, you can see the sideskirt which I had used a white primer on, is a "perfect" match to that of the door. Whereas the door cap which I had used a brown primer on, is quite a bit darker than the door. (Door being original Firestorm Red)





In person, I can guarantee you that I can see absolutely ZERO difference in the paint, regardless of lighting or shade, it is as close to a perfect match you`ll get without going to the actual Firestorm Red itself.

I hope this helps some people in a bind for a quick fixes if need be.

Did you use the Gatecrasher method? It's supposed to be fairly easy to drop if you balance it at the right point and use a hoist.



I've never pulled the engine or transmission myself but I want to go the transmission so I can take it apart and reseal the case. I have this really annoying slow drop that I want to take care of.

I had a rear pinion seal go and made a thread about it.

Pretty much, I asked Jeff what part he connected to before I started but I just put one side of the chain to the part that holds the linkage and one that holds the cables. I meant to take a pic, I'll do it when I put it back in.

I'm still getting a little bit. I'll post about it when I get it done and get some results.

So, i bled the clutch and it was still creeping a bit. Then adjusted the clutch pedal more and its perfect now. I think my clutch booster diaphragm might be going bad. Its good now, but is there any way to do a booster delete and just do a clutch rod to master cylinder?

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

you'd probably have to run the NA master cylinder and pedal assembly

Anybody know what the difference between the AWD slave vs the FWD slave? Cherry hill lists two different ones but in the book they don't show anything different.

TT has a longer plunger, not by much, to engage the clutch. I used a FWD on mine for some time until it eventually failed and I replaced it with an Autozone one for like $30.00......

Was home sick most of today so figured I could at least take pictures of the FMIC install I finished up this past weekend.
