Thanks

[89T]

Did some stuff today

[89T]

[Tdurr]

hell yea! get it done!

[89T]

You bet.

I'll leave these here.

[Tdurr]

Mad scientists over here!

[89T]

Mad as hell, like Jekyll and Hyde

[89T]

Here you go tim... making a jig for a solid rear mount...

[87roach]

Ohhh yea. I am not sure what is going on with the trans-axle but the progress is looking good man!

[89T]

I am removing the front mount all together. The plate will become the new side mount. There was nothing on the transmission that was strong enough to mount to. So this is the best alternative.

[Tdurr]

Ohh a jig... i see you!

[87roach]

No more messing around I see!

So what are you going to do with all that glorious space now?

[89T]

For now the plan is to clean it up.

[89T]

Solid rear mount.

[87roach]

Looking good!

I can't recall if you got your motor back from the shop all sorted out yet or not? Is the motor your test fitting to an extra block or the original one you were getting repaired?

[89T]

That's the old block. I got a "new to me" block and had it machined. I got it back last Wednesday. I just want to sort out the mounts and such before I put it together.

[89T]

Okay so. Bandsaw blade broke again. So I stopped working on on the motor mounts. I decided to see what was wrong with the clutch seeing that I have the old motor and transmission mocked up.
So from 0 with the clutch fully depressed I've only got 1 5/16 inches of travel. Now from where I had the clutch adjusted to originally at full disengagement is an additional inch and a half past that 1 5/16 inch. Meaning that I need 2 13/16 of travel. So what I'm getting at is WTF. Will Somebody go out and measure those for me.? The Only real solution that i can seeI at this point is relocating where the clutch cable connects to the armature to about halfway down the armature.

[89T]

This is about how much more pedal movement I need.

[87roach]

I'd have to check mine to see if its similar at all.

I do notice though that compared to stock, the integra cable has less travel in it all together, I pretty much have it at max adjustment and there is enough pedal to shift normally but maybe 1/4 less than stock(pedal movement). Anyway, what I am getting at is that stock will probably be a better option to go if you need the most pedal travel you can get(I can't remember which you have, sorry).

[89T]

I have the clutchnet red clutch and pressure plate with the aluminum flywheel
I also have the stock clutch cable

[Tdurr]

your cable might be going bad, replace that fucker. they are like 20-30 for a brand new one from autozone.

[89T]

13 bucks. I'll pick one up!

[Tdurr]

even better. when mine came uncrimped and almost left me stranded a mile from my house -_-

[87roach]

Man that's affordable, I don't think I could get a price like that around here! Mind you, I don't think I could have piece of mind with a $13 cable doing an essential part of driving.

I hope that solves the problem though.

[89T]

13 bucks and it was the only one in town. I'll take it! I hope that's it though.
