For those interested, we dropped my tranny. More pics to follow when we open the bellhousing.

It needed work, due to a leaky (which you'll see) input shaft seal. 90w gear oil is not good for your clutch.

dino u dirty bic.. that engine needs a cleaning..

when i come to houston ill have to show u how.. ahahhaa

You hang from stoplight to stoplight, then you can talk smack. ;-)

one day my friend one day..

im just saying you can be fast, but u can be clean toooo...

i like cleaning shit.. i dont know why i think its the military.. though my cars way cleaner then where i live haha..

but if i really want to clean i get all picky and it has to be perfect.. if its warm ill be cleaning under the hood at least 2 times a week..

haha

Evan... you do know what Dino lookslike right? long hair doesn't know how to shave... Why would you expect a clean engine bay???

Damn, that sucks Dino. Remember what you said about better me than you? ;) Dude, you jinxed yerself. Welcome to "Jake's Wonderful World of Broken Trannies" :D

Hey Dino, what did you notice when it started leaking? Was the clutch slipping at all? Feel funny when you launched?

it destroyed a Centerforce DF. I thought it just wasn't up to the power.

When the Stage 4 CM started slipping and chattering at high load (90mph, 10PSI, 4th gear), i knew what was wrong - the old clutch had been covered in oil, and the rear main was bone dry. 2+2= ...

yesh i know what dino looks like.. so what we can all have a nice clean engine.. mine seems to run better when its clean.. i think im just nuts.. but it does.. dont ask me

Hehe...I'm exactly like you Evan. You can eat off my engine.....just aske Dave and and his Orlando buds. ;)

Wow hehe wish I knew how to rip my tranny apart and stuff. THen maybe I can fix that damn loose shifter cable.

How long does it take to get the tranny out and install a clutch? Sound like I can save a lotta money if I do it myself :)

Pop the CV axles, Let the trans drain, remove battery, disconect linkage, unplug sensors, unbolt motor mount unbolt trans from motor and you can lower trans. Do the work with a friend or two so you an manuever the trans around. You should be able to swap a clutch in a day. Take a Saturday and you should get it done.

Armond has a GREAT write up on his site on how to install a clutch by yourself. www.armond30.com

Yep, John has the cleanesty engine bay I have ever seen. Mine is all dirty and nasty. But mine puts out a lot of horse power. I think their is a linear ratio between dirty engines and fast 420a's. The dirtier the engine the fast the car.

There's more now..

Ever wondered what the insides of your MT look like? No you can find out. Same URL as above. This is what i did TONIGHT.

Hey Dino, once your done with the rebuild, send me a part number list of the seals and little pieces that need to be changed. :7 ;-)

It depends on what's broken..

Take it apart, show me what's broken and where it came from, and i can probably give you a part number.

The 3rd & 4th gear synchro assembly you broke is part # M04761133, in case you were wondering..

nice pix DarkOne kept me entertained for a while. :P What does welding the diff pin do?

The pin is an interfernce fit, it holds the spider gears in the differential. I have heard from multiple sources (Stan, rpm97talon, several 2GNT'ers) that the pin can back out of the housing. If that happens, the transmission will literally explode from the loose gears flying apart.

It's just a bit of safety and insurance.

Heh, yeah. I'm pretty sure thats what happened to mine. It literally exploded and flew out the bottom of the transmission case. Dino, I'm gonna send you those pics I promised a long time ago. Post'em up :)

LMAO .. that makes 4 times now...

Still waitin on those pic!

When are you gonna come visit, Jake? When i get my driveline issues sorted out, you're in for a suprise......
