Car is running great. I like the new clutch combo. Transmission is still clattering more than I would like at idle. Ran across this...looks like I get to live with it. http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/flywheel/gear_rattle.htm

Looks like it had at one time. The charcoal canister was actually eaten through on the top, very odd being plastic. Painted the subframe before installing it.

She is back on the road. Loud trans noise is gone and clutch is super nice. Lovin' it. Tuning time.

Trans is in.

6 button is out. New disc in... Cleaned up the sub frame

All I can say is it is not a daily driver setup. You can read my feelings about further up the thread. Its a total lockup combo, you will have zero slip with a high hp engine. I replaced the diff bearings when I installed the Quaife and had to shim it. This bearing was on a gear shaft. The shop doing it is very confident they can fix it right up. They say they do it all the time.

Oh no, you needed to hear it. I know what your talking about with the inherent rattle, this was night and day comparatively. I took it to the manual transmission shop to have them listen and he cringed. It didnt rattle until I swapped that bearing. I run Royal Purple. I just got off the phone with Redline. Their GL5 oils contain a brass inhibitor that makes it non-corrosive to brass, bronze and some other metal that I cant remember. Syncros are safe. But, they said that it would be too slippery for a syncro transmission and recommended MTL.

I cant describe how well this combo works. I mean from a race standpoint...wow, perfect. For the daily driver, not so fun. I bought an organic lined disc from Clutchnet and am going to replace the 6 button. I will keep the pressure plate. It feels better now. I'll be selling the 6 button with an R pressure plate soon. I am sure someone out there will want this extra grip. The trans clattered when the clutch was out. The bearing tolerances are off. I am taking it to a shop to have it shimmed. Taking this opportunity to swap the disc.

Whoops, my tranny fell out.

Almost got my face sucked into that picture.

I was expecting something threaded. Did you just drill it and pop it in with some silicone?

I currently have a 1" copper tap on mine. I like the white elbows, would you happen to have a link where you bought them?

I tried to put a S60R breather but it does not fit on the early models. How or what did you use to add the 1" vent? More pictures?

Trust me, I am right there with you. The pressure plate is strong. The disc grabs really well. The combination of the two makes it a very small window for engaging the clutch. That in combination with the lightened flywheel causes you to have to rev a bit to make the whole thing work. I am going to use it through the breaking period and tuning. Other options would be to use the 707 with the R disc or the R pressure plate with the 6puck.

Not the welded spacers you see, they put washers between the radiator and intercooler because it touched.

Cant remember who posted it but someone said they needed to use spacers on the DO88 intercooler. Maybe they saw that and made some changes but I found that there was zero touching anywhere. No spacing needed.

Still running the FMIC at the moment. I just wanted to get it back on the road. The DO88 is in place but not piped. Probably a week or so. I am in break in mode.

So far...sucks. I will say this, it will never slip again. Its a battle to drive it. Its very strong on the pedal. There is not much room for a smooth take off. Its engaged or not engaged. I have been driving it for two days and I came up on some traffic today and all I could think about is how tired my leg was going to be. This is day two though so I am getting used to it and finding that a little more RPMs at take off help a lot. It grips amazing as in chirps the tires in first gear if your not careful. So, after two days: 1. Very hard pedal movement 2. Clutch grabs, there is no denying that. It will hold whatever I throw at it. 3. Tough daily driver I am hoping that with some time it will calm down and become common place. I will report back in a week or so.

Its Alive!! ...doing leak control.

I even went to Napa and bought those because I wanted strong ones. I'll swap them out at some point but my head is scrambling to come up with some sort of breather. I should not need the Provents now because I wont have the serious blow by anymore. Maybe I will use just one.

Provent, they work great until the element gets saturated. Geez, now you say something.

Getting there....

Todays plans. A little DO88 and an engine.

This is disheartening. Is that the sputters?

You make it sound like I am going fast. This has been turtle build.
