flywheel and clutch installed
 
well I finally got around to installing my alum flywheel and act clutch and boy did I need it the RAMpower grip or power shiter as I like to call it was wore down to nothing and was making grinding sounds (I put it in in april only had 20,000 miles on it) well I pull the tranny out and the flywheel has huge scrapes all over it so does the pressure plate. That clutch was a six puck unsprung it had to be the shittest clutch ever made I just want to tell you guys so you would stay away from them I will post some pics later this week of the damage it did

you are so full of shit higgs didnt even touch the car all you did was bolt the exhaust back up and helped with the pressure plate. Oh I forgot you busted the bolt to the speedo cable and had to go by a new one. My lil bro helped the most he was the one covered in grease as well as me.

So try again Dave dont be mad.

Did you have a merry ol' time getting the tranny to line back up on the motor when you were putting it back on? Last time I swapped my clutch, I fought and fought with it for like thirty minutes. Then, my roomamte came over to the shop, leaned on it and popped it right in on accident, lol.

We drew it in with the bolts and yes it was a bitch the trick is to take a jack to the main drive pulley and tilt the engine backwards so you can angle the tranny right other wise you will have to do what I did and draw it is slowly with the bolts until it is flush. Other than that it was a piece of cake the slave cylinder was a bitch beause it is so tight up in there. Now my clutch pedal is smooth as butter and boy does she grab I just finshed breaking it in. Bad thing is I heard some pretty weird noises out in the engine bay when I did a third gear pull hope she aint blown I think it is getting close though:(
