Re: Stevebsy's 5MT swap thread, Start date 8-4-2019

Yee ha - almost there...

Today:
Swapped LSD into 3.7 rear diff. Somehow got the shims messed up, so I had to do the math of the FSM to the best of my ability. Didn't know how to figure out the Dimension E/F though. Got the backlash dialed in between .1 and .2mm per spec. (~.12) so I think I'll be ok....? Hope so

Installed 2000 Outback MT drive shaft, fits perfect
Finished installing my Trans mount for the rear. Mine is different to the 'standard' style one, but I think it'll work. Some uuuuuuuggggggly welds on there but it'll hold I'm pretty sure.

Finished the interior trim install around the shifter hole. Just need to modify the skirt thing a little bit to fit better inside the SVX cutout.

Attached up the slave cylinder and reconnected the brakes master cylinder

Attached the front exhaust section (manifold + resonator on each side) for some brief testing. Debating taking it to get a whole new system made up, or just patch what I have back together..

Tomorrow;
Alternator wiring upgrade
Reconnect engine harness
Reinstall radiator, heater hoses, fuel lines,
Bleed brakes & clutch
Fill fluids - engine, trans, diff, brake, clutch, coolant
Helicoil for starter bolt



I'll get some pictures tomorrow but hope to make vroom vroom noises by the afternoon
