If anyone would like to "join in the fun" next weekend Kris and I will be putting a T56 6 speed transmission in my car. Ya...so let me know.

 

sounds like a good time

 

come to the rfp then do the swap

 

yeah come out to the rfp and ill help you out as well hope to see you guys there

 

rfp?

 

ride for pride

 

forgot about that, id like to make it but it depends if i still go along with my plans this coming weekend.

 

updates?

 

Stevo and I got the 700R4 out Sat. Not to bad for 2 guys with hand tools and the car on jackstands. Now for the install, hope that goes as smoothly.

 

have fun bench pressing the trans. btw i suggest u put the clutch and bell on the motor before you try to get the trans up there.

 

I think a floor jack will beat bench pressing the tranny. I know the clutch is already on, Stevo did his research, but thanks for the tips anyways.

 

Hang the pedals yet? Thats a ton of fun!

Are you guys going to get this car put back together in time for the nats/picnic next weekend?

 

ya itll be done...i think

ill update when its finished hopefully sat or sun night.

ill send you my payment when i get home though i forgot



edit - god damnint...not my computer

 

Cool, I hope you get it put back together in time! I have yet to see your car in person. Steve and I swapped the manual into my car, shoot a pm if you hit a bump in the road.

 

I hit a bump every single time i try to work on the car...tommaro pedals go in and the hole in the tranny tunnel.

 

Any luck?

 

No, not going good, a guy bailed who was gonna help. I dont have the right tools i need and everytime i start working on the damn car something goes wrong. Dont know whats up now, maybe taking off work wednesday to try and get it done...i dont know what to do at this point.

 

What problems are you having?

 

Getting the pedals in, cutting a damn hole for the shifter, hydraulics...

Thats about everything lol.

 

Pedals in, Shifter Hole cut, clutch hydraulic holes cut.

 

I am about to do the same thing. What is the deal with how the hydro goes on - is the a U bolt i need to get? What do you need to do with the pedals to get the 4th gen pedals installed? thanks

 

Holy resurrected post Batman!!

You need to drill a hole for the master cylinder and two holes for the bolts. You can use a factory u-bolt or you can use two regular 3/8 bolts. Be sure to use lock washers and it's not a bad idea to use a little blue loctite. Mock up the pedals, mark the holes, remove the pedals, drill the holes then install them permanently.
