I can't do no progress since I still need those last two things and I need to pull the motor out of the Volvo before I junk it so I can have the space to work on the swap

[JDM4G64T]

Took you long enough!!! Good luck, and have fun doing the swap....

[bronxbombr]

Take your time and have fun with it, I wanna see alot of pics too.

[spdracr]

I can't wait until I do this. I'm doing the prothane inserts for the mounts and I'm installing the energy suspension control arm bushings and replacing my steering rack bushings as well.

Lotsa work ahead of me :-)

^+1 or... rattleee....

[spdracr]

i wasnt planning on using the one that came with my clutch but i wasnt sure if the one i got from rock auto was a good one or not but now that you guys mentioned it i will go ahead and return them and order one from my local dealership

[mko]

^+1 or... rattleee....

Is that for real? Is that why I get rattling and i cant figure it out where it comes from!

[4g63lover]

I told you so.

[spdracr]

I told you so.

no you did not lol but now that i know i will return those and order one soon since im ordering my clutch line and bushings and thats all i need for it

[spdracr]

timing belt snapped today so now i wanna do that along with few things so let the fun begin

[spdracr]

so i noticed something is missing off the tranny and i dont know what it is

first 3 pics are from Icedoutgalant showing that rubber piece near the shifter linkage




next 2 pics are from my tranny showing the hole where that piece should be



anyone knows what that is ??

[GOOSEY2099]

just a brether hole, get it from the dealer

[spdracr]

thanks for the info Roman, i will try to get it from the dealership and hopefully those idiots know what im talking about lol



so finally got out of bed since im feeling a lil better and decided to tackle the timing belt and other projects, even though the doctor told me i need to rest for 2 weeks after my surgery, sitting at home doing nothing was driving me crazy

Shortchain decided to help me and i wanna thank him cuz he is actually doing most of the work and im doing the light/basic work

battery and battery tray and tray bracket removed, fuse box unbolted, timing belt cover removed, pully removed, all belt were old so we cut them out of the way and new ones will be ordered, washer resovoir and radiator resovoir removed, front end disassembeled











my lovely crank pully





i have to make up my mind whether im keeping my power steering or not, i know everyone says keep it but without it i will have a cleaner engine bay or i can always get the power steering lines custom made to my length so i can reroute them and make the engine bay look cleaner

same applies to AC, i think im getting rid of it but havent fully made up my mind

what do you guys think ??

[mko]

yo, keep the power steering- unless you have a drag car with mucho horse power.

Maybe ill come down when you start the tranny swap

i hated it when i didnt have a/c for about a month last year in the summer, the part i needed took forever and after it was in another leak was discovered so i had to wait for that one as well. even though you really only need it for a few months out of the year i still like having it when its needed.

as for the power steering, living in the tri state it would be hard without it. theres so much parallel parking that you need to stop and turn the wheel for. when your moving its not bad without it but it is definately an option that i wouldnt give up, especially as i said living here. if you could get the custom lines then go for it if your trying to simplify the engine bay but i definatly wouldnt eliminate it.

[seth98esT]

Keep the AC, keep the PS. Its not a race car, you will regret it if you get rid of them.

I hope you guys know what you are doing with the tbelt. You better replace more then just the belt.
