    Talking Then and now

    The swap went pretty well overall. Nothing too major went wrong, but the people that resurfaced the flywheel popped out a small bushing that was NOT supposed to be removed, and I had to buy another flywheel (and couldn't afford the money or time to resurface it).

    Big thanks to babyblue89 (and his dad!!) who donated the tranny and everything I needed minus the clutch kit, and helped me ENORMOUSLY putting it in...thanks man!!! I owe ya!!!

    So without further ado, $190 later and here she is:




    Still working on the interior, as you can see....

    Good work! I just did mine two weeks ago. It's pretty straight forward.

    Yeah, like dane said, it's pretty straight forward, but still kind of a pain. That is to say there's not a lot of figuring out what goes where, it's just a matter of getting the damn thing in! It's a lot more fun to drive, that's for sure, though my tibialis anterior (shin muscle) is being used a lot more than it has in the last 3 years

    There's a couple odd things though:
    Something that spins is scraping something, cause I can hear it tick against it when I'm moving. I was thinking it was the dust plate on the brakes because I stepped on them to get the axles out. Any other places to check?
    Sometimes when I come to a stop at a light or whatever, the RPMs will go up to like 1100-1200 for a second or three, then go back down to idle...odd.
    And lastly, I think I fixed this, but when she would be warming up, after a minute or two, the RPMs would fluxuate from 1000-1400ish in a cycle. I unplugged the little harness closest to the firewall on the TB and it seems to have disappeared.

    Oh, should I reset my ECU? And how to do so? Thanks!

    Mine does this too sometimes, i'm not sure wether it's got something to do with the auto ECU being different from the manual ECU (if it is different...), or it's just my fast idle solenoid thats a little screwed...

    Actually, he lives up in Hillsboro, about 1.5 hours north of me. Still fairly close though.

    I remembered one more thing...my power steering seems to be acting funny, like it stutters or something...and ideas? Thanks

    PS...I think it even sounds better!!

    Very nice Matt...it was about time That 'stuttering' power steering is probably just a loose belt that's slipping when you're using the ps pump. Looks great! Congrats!

    Well you don't have to race me but it would be cool if you could make it to this meet. We are going to make this a yearly meet so this won't be the last time, but it will be fun.

    So did you beat Bitesize or did he have the weight advantage for the race?
