Clutch and Roll Cage Project Full.

Drive shaft goes in and out fine. I had it in when I installed the loop and took it out fine.

I was just messing with you. I know you can get it out. It just seemed funny at the time since you are trying to get it out, yet you are bolting more stuff in.

[BurnTire]

Really I just took it out again. It may be in the way when I take the tranny out with the transmission jack. Its only 4 bolts. LOL

I have heard some back the rear of the tranny into the loop to assist in removing and installing with a floor jack.

I am still waiting for my bell housing and cage to arrive this week so I had to do something today.

Shaggy is coming over tomorrow to help me drop the tranny.

hehehe...you mean later on today? hahaha.

Everything looks good so far....Just remember what weight you put in, you got to take it out somewere.

Or just turn up the boost.

Well today was drop the tranny and install the input shaft day.

How to get to the top tranny bolt. A bunch of wobble extensions did the job.



Checking the stock input shaft end-play.



Nice new liberty gear input shaft and a McLeod Bearing Retainer Sleeve.



When we got the tranny out the transmission jack adapter had the tranny about 3 inches too high to roll it out on the jack. So we had to slide it off the jack under the car.

My jack was maxed out so it was Shaggy Engineering to the rescue.
He told me how they used telephone books to get his car higher.
Well it worked. LOL



FedEx showed up again




Now I just need the McLead bell-housing and MM Roll Bar to show up.

Thanks to Aaron (shaggy) for the help and I am sorry about the hole you got in your finger.

[MinGry03]

Looking sweet....

[Gene]

did you have to shim the liberty unit or was it pretty close? Mine was perfect.

[BurnTire]

No shim. It was 0 endplay on both shafts.
So that was one less thing to mess with.

Good thing you have a knowledgeable tech advisor on retainer! lol
