I started with Gunk Engine Brite, then used Purple Cleaner. What a mess!

i always have trouble getting the coupler from the trans onto the tt. any tips?
it's always a game of spinning, tilting, taking bolts out, putting them in. then for no reason (so it seems) it finally lines up.

I believe we marked it during removal and then set it back on the mark on install. i levered the clutch from below using a screwdriver to engage it while my stepdad lined it back up and spun it to fit the bollts.

Never had one that didn't just slip right over. I do it before connecting CV's, so I can spin the rear shaft easily. Never understood marking the shafts; if it really mattered which way it went, they'd leave a blank tooth or some other way to make alignment foolproof. I don't know how you'd get to the TT shaft to mark it anyway.

Not today, on saturday:
I was taking off the wheels to check the brakes on the 944, I just got a week ago. The car had a locking nut on each wheel. The socket broke on the last nut.

I spent over 3 hours grinding and chisleling out the stupid lock nut. No more lock nuts, just normal lognuts.

Cheers

put the blower assembly back minus the wiper assembly, which needs some work.

I also put in new front struts (low mileage s2 struts) so I can send my konis out to get rebuilt and valved properly for coilovers.

Replaced the AC/Alt tensioner finally (thanks Darwin)
