Re: Young Tom, someone help ASAP.
depends on the year/model...
more than likely it is the retaining spring for the hill-holder system... don't worry, no one has put one in an SVX

Re: Young Tom, someone help ASAP.
It is meant to keep backed pressure on the fork to try and save the trhow-out bearing when the clutch pedal isn't being used.

Almost done. Only problem I'm seeing is the brake lines are all over the place so I'm going to have a hell of a time putting the brake cylinder in.

Re: Young Tom, someone help ASAP.
NEGATORY. This thread is designed for questions of a technical nature and is ongoing.
After all, none of these parts can be considered mods until they are installed.

Re: Young Tom, someone help ASAP.
Shift linkage is now mounted (using the stock WRX mount ). I test fitted my stock prop shaft. There is about 3 inches of empty space between it and the rear diff if I shove it all the way in. Do I want to have the new one be 3 inches longer or 2 and leave an inch of space?
Also what's the best stuff to use for the clutch? Brake fluid?

Re: Young Tom, someone help ASAP.
You need a shaft that is 2 inches longer... THere needs to be at least an inch of play there for when the transmission moves up and down it needs to slide in and out of the trans a little

prop shaft
The best guys in town do not think they can lengthen it so they want to just build me a new one. They quoted me at $400-500 for it! Two years ago it was $200...
Someone give me input. They don't have the same diameter Subaru uses, and they want to use 3 inch steel tube and make it a one-piece. Is this a bad idea? I remember hearing if it's not perfectly balanced I may get vibration at highway speed. Luckily I do get to keep my stock shaft so when/if I upgrade to a 6 speed I can slide it in. They can do 2.5 inch but are worried about the torque. Thoughts? I have until Monday to tweak and finalize the deal.

Re: prop shaft
That's the first option I threw at them and they say they can't do it.

I went back over there today and asked a few questions. His reasoning behind the 3 inches is because it is one piece and has no central support, he doesn't want it to wobble at high rotational speeds, whereas a smaller diameter has a greater risk in that area. They are also pretty confident their shaft will be lighter than mine so I told them to go ahead with it. It's been my intention for years to get a light(er) weight shaft for years. I'm willing to eat a couple hundred bucks for it.

Re: Young Tom, someone help ASAP.
I seem to remember one piece shafts being discussed before. The consensus was that it's a bad idea due to the angle of the transmission and rear diff.

How do you bleed the clutch?
I dumped some liquid in there, pumped the slave, it made bubble noises and the level dropped, I put more in, pumped more, got nothing, pedal still has no feedback at all. I have no idea how this is supposed to work. I'm a little worried about Tom's clutch pedal and the way when I push it back, it loads a spring and adjusts itself and stays back. Seems counter-intuitive. (NEVERMIND, that's normal apparently) Also, that little spring on the fork, is it supposed to be pulling it to the front of the car or back? Soon as I get this clutch figured out I can install the throttle body and start the car. --- This thread here answered some of my questions, but not all. http://www.roadrace-autox.com/bbs/fo...w.asp?tid=1012 I'm going to try what WRXracer111 says. --- Cylinders now operating.
