Let me know when you're gonna do this Mark. I have one sitting in my workshop and would like to brainstorm on how to do the install and dash bracket.

To do list:
Plugs
Valve cover gaskets
Dist belts
fluids
RS door panels
RS radio delete
lower even further- corner balance yada yada
new rubber on all three sets of wheels

Paul, that sounds like a plan. Perhaps this spring, a trip through The Gorge out your way. We can even trick out my headlights, then head out to the Oregon Race Track.

Dang, I also need an A/C compressor.

Its good to know that solution works. The engine needs the rear seal changed so I have to disassemble anyway. The question will be about doing the clutch or not. The car has 70k miles. It shifts fine otherwise. If everything looks good and the splines are obviously the problem I might go the cheap route but likely not. It's $2000 in parts once you figure in exchange, shipping assuming I go with a new DMF flywheel (no LWF for me).
Thanks, Matt

Maybe I should add this: Prostitute myself so I could afford to send my 97 to Colin @ NineMeister.

I will write a list, but I don't know how much of it I will actually get done.

-Replace Stereo/speakers
-Replace seats with lightweight ones
-Work on exhaust
-Heater duct bypass
-Short Shift kit
-the standard brake pads, rotors, spark plug, distributor cap, replacements
