**Blue Ice** · 08-24-2009, 08:44 AM

the good kind

the shitty kind

lol @ that god damn spacer. when i first did my swap, took me about 5 minutes to pull it out. i got screwed the 2nd time though, took me almost 4 hours....

**kamenfaiz** · 08-24-2009, 11:34 PM

well the 2nd one that is what i got and i return it
it has no effectness on our pilot bearing.

ok, the devil may cry!
i use the tool that i borrow took me like 3 bang to take that devil out

nice, well i ran into the spacer problem with AJ's car. took me up to 3 hrs to get the spacer off. bought the tool and it was useless.
So far i got in the shifter, pedals,cables, flywheel, clutch, tranny lined up under the car and i am reusing front and rear A/T perches. Looks like we are in the same boat right now

**kamenfaiz** · 08-26-2009, 03:30 PM

well i call up the dealer and they dont know what is a perch or roll stop or i tell them what roll stop is and they said that is the mount. They have no idea what i am talking about. So what my plan is trying to reuse the perch. The good news is the top perch came with the tranny. and i test fit the front ( close to the radiator) perch fits ok and now my problem is the rear perch which it does fit on 1 bolts but not the 2 on the top so my plan is to modify it to put the bolts in, use it as temporary. but i don't know if this is going to work unless the tranny is in the car.... to be continue

Engine mount bracket
Roll Stopper

and our tranny didnt come with any perches at all.

Well finally got the tranny in, and on a side note. Unless you cut and mod the rear Perch it wont work. Looks like the front will and you need the M/T side perch also.

**kamenfaiz** · 08-27-2009, 12:03 AM

are you reusing the speed sensor?
mine mt tranny did not came with one

**peanotation** · 08-27-2009, 12:08 AM

the harness for the speed sensor is the same between AT and MT, so maybe the sensor itself that bolts to the tranny is the same. try swapping the one from your AT over

**kamenfaiz** · 08-27-2009, 03:34 AM

man after 3 hours
got the tranny in
could of gotten furthur but that mount on the top stuck me all that time
not very hard but try to do that without making any noise at night and outside!

**bronxbombr** · 08-27-2009, 03:18 PM

so what are u doing about the front and rear perches?

**kamenfaiz** · 08-28-2009, 01:49 AM

the front one bolts on no problem
it is the one close to the firewall which is the one that the sensor goes in the middle. that one sucks looks like i have to drill some holes

**kamenfaiz** · 08-30-2009, 12:09 AM

so i am almost done here
just need to wire it up and hook up the shifting cable

just a question i am little confuse of which wire to which to hack to get the car start
