ur the man!

 

man i wish i had seen this before now. i could of come over and held a beer and watched . . just kidding i probably wouldn't of watched

 

BIG NEWS:

All the parts are FINALLY in! After 1.5 months of waiting, my parts are FINALLY all in! The Comptech clutch arrived today! Starting tomorrow: Rebuild!

I'm really going to push to have it in by Saturday.

 

Well, folks, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, the clutch is in and seems to be working fine. The bad news is: I reconnected something wrong or failed to reconnect something so my car will not go over 3k rpms and has a check engine light.

Autozone states that the codes are:
411
1357

Any help out there?

 

BTW, after the first start of the engine, I saw that the passenger side TDC sensor was disconnected and connected it, that might explain the 1357, but I'm still lost on the 0411?

 

Found it, passenger TDC sensor. Apparently my father needs to go back to connectors and how to plug them 101. Everything appears green! Wohoo! 1.5 months of waiting and I'm finally behind the wheel.

I'm off to drive around!

 

Congratulations! I'm glad you're back on the road again.

 

Hey all
Spent the day removing my bell housing and it seems to be stuck around the starter area..
Just wanna make sure i unbolted the right bolt..

I put my extension here...



And this is the bolt i removed.. Is this what you mean by removing the top bolt of the starter?? Is there another bolt holding the starter in?


I might just have to jiggle it a bit more!!

 

Hey mbilderback, awesome job there with the additions and photo's . . . and yes remember to plug the sensors back in

 

First timers may want to do a tear down in one day and put everything back together the next just to allow for learning. If you do it enough like me you can get it down to 4 hours.

One thing, I noticed the broken clutch disc, I'm pretty sure that part broke before the disc was dropped. I did an emergency clutch change after I depressed the clutch and revved up to 9000 . . . the car started moving forward! Upon teardown I found the same broken part out of the disc dragging on the FW, so it may be another weak point.

I still come back to this write up when I do a clutch change, just in case I may forget something, it saves so much time.
