Good job..do not forget to put lube on the fork ends,the main shaft on he trany -just a little,and on the end of the shaft as well as on the guide tube and inside the TO bearing-all app moderate....on the back of the engine is a a vacuum T fiting missing a hose on right side on the picture ,Don`t forget to attach it....looks cool otherwise
Hi Ivan, question,
I see where the left and right vacuum hoses attach, t firing and right side canister in
pictures below. What about the larger center hose? I see some kind of port deep in the engine under the injection but I doubt it can reach there. I have searched and don't see anywhere else??
Hi Ivan, yes in the last photo I posted, the center vacuum hose, the larger one. I couldn't find anywhere to attach it, the length wasn't sufficient to attach to anything that was near by. I left it unattached. Engine is now back in the car. The tranny mounts were a pain but I finally got the bolts in. Will get the rest completed and fresh oil today. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks
Hi Ivan, took a spin yesterday but forgot to install the sway bar. Will install that today. I only had 3rd-5th gear. Got back and made the adjustment from an online video and now how 5 gears. Runs well so far. Thanks
adjusting that coupler to me is more art than skill, if you have all your gears and you are not " catching " any going from gear to gear you are good. you have to be patient and make small adjustments if it isn't right.
don't forget to periodically check and retourque CV joint bolts. Also make sure your throw is exactly one inch on your clutch so you don't over actutate it. ( there was evidence of this on your housing )
other than that great Job Randy , glad it all worked out for you and you are once again motoring along. you now have some garage art too.
did you go with the aluminum pressure plate ? or the iron one ?
Hi Clive, I ended up with the Sachs clutch kit, iron plate.Getting through all the gears, going to recheck the clutch trhow adjustment tonight, make sure the feeler is at 1mm.
Just to confirm we are talking about the same thing Randy, the clutch throw is not the 1mm measurement. it is when someone presses the clutch your distance travel at any given point on the cable is 25mm. ( its adjusted at the floor board. )
I have the clutch stop on the pedal board and no issues there. My clutch pedal is still not even with the brake pedal. Is that normal or not adjusted correctly. Shifting feels fine and gear grinding. Shifts in all gears. Thanks
