RE: t5 tare down/rebuild
alright just an update... got it all apart, and now virtually all back together, all thats apart still is the cover, and tailshaft, but thats only because i still have to calc. and then shim the input shaft at work(hopefully tomorrow)
only problem im having is that the blocker ring for what i think(hard to remember right now, lol) is 2nd gear is sitting too tightly on what it rides on(dunno wut to call it, if youve rebuilt a t5 before you know what i mean), so im gonna try to lube it up w. some atf and see if i can get it to loosen up a little, if not... ill just tare it down again real quick, and put it backtogether.
well just thought id keep some ppl who might be interested posted...
if all goes as planed ill have it COMPLEETLY done tomorrow night(hopefully i get off at 3 not 6, usually fridays work out that way... if i get off early ill just stay and **** w. my trans) and will prob go in the car sunday... thatll be the real test, lol
i have to say, this is one of the hardest things ive done w. a car, not hard like takes effort, hard like has to be very precise, and takes some good thinking... none the less, helluva fun time... id do it again, lol.
