My 5-speed status
The 5-speed is still on the floor. The pedal assembly is going in in the morning to be modded (believe it or notI got it out without removing the dash or the steering column). I was hoping to have the auto tranny out today, however the Exhaust didnt co-operate with me. If it persistes with it's stuborness tomarrow, I will introduce it to my friend Mr. Hacksaw. The ClutchMasters FX300 Kit should be here by Friday. I'm using the Tranny and rear from a 91 Legacy. I dont know if the Clutch Masters kit is any good, but they are the only ones that had a complete (up-grade) kit for a 91 Legacy.
THE TRANNY WILL BE OUT TOMARROW!!!! Even if I have to cut the car in half with a hacksaw to do it.... |

Not wanting to hi-jack.
But while all you stick blokes are together. I am looking to 'beg, borrow or steal' a TCU and the plugs that plug into it, to do a bit of experimenting. If any one can help, please send me a PM.
Harvey.

cut it off and buy all new springs and bolts. along with the gaskets. Best investment you will ever make in your exhaust. I have some old springs and bolts if you want to come and get em mike.

Thanx tom, but I'm good. the problem is at the manifold. One of the nuts is rusted perminetly to the manifold stud. the sprinds and bolts at the third cat came out with no problemand the gaskets there are only about a month old. I will need new ones at the manifold though. |

oh ok nm. those are a pain in the arse. If it is on the driver's side, just drop the whole manifold with the pipes. That is what I Had to do when i did the trans in my FWD. If it is pass side keep trying to getthat bolt.

It works great except I need to find a place for the switch inside my car instead of under the hood.
