Joe Flanagan Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Today I got the clutch installed, bolted the bell housing on, and got the engine installed in the car. I took the original transmission and tried to fit the input shaft into the pilot bushing but it wouldn't go in. I honed it out and now I have a nice fit. It was a pain in the butt, though. The alignment tool was too big to go in, so I sanded it down and it finally worked. I also installed the throwout bearing and clutch fork: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Flanagan Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Did you say snow? Time to run out for bread, milk, and toilet paper. But only if everyone else is doing it at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero3113 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Its funny Joe that everyone panics when they hear the word snow. They think that we are going to be snowed in for days. They plow the snow now throughout the storms so when it stops the roads are clear. People even go crazy when its only going to be an inch.

Plymouthy Adams Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 you get snowy roads in the south where they do not have the equipment to clear and maintain clear roads and you got a sceneraio very much like a tornado in a trailer park..there is going to be some twisted metal before its all over...

Young Ed Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Today is probably going to be our first big test of the plowing stuff here in MN. Due to budget cuts minneapolis has about 80 instead of 130 snow plow drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
