boxpin Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 If I ever mention that I am going to do a manual swap again....shoot me. That was a pain in the butt. Nothing went right. I just need to do the wiring now but I am beat. Took all day in the driveway. Dropped the sub frame. I sure hope the plus's offset the negatives. Maybe I will feel better tomorrow after some rest. I am just ranting. I want to flush the trans. I see that it takes 2.2 quarts, what should the final oil be? Royal Purple??? what weight? Does this mean I need to swap my pickup wires?

Black Betty Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Pain in the butt will go away as soon as you let that Quaife do it's job for the first time. You'll be amazed how well the car hooks on some sticky tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still baby'ing it though. I know you want to be as much as gentle for the first 1500 miles(to brake in) and the same time push the gas like you stole the car, the "R" clutch is very aggressive no matter what you do My tires smoke on 1,2 and 3 gear for just held the rpm around 3000( just want to finish the winter tires) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aequitas_Veritas Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 yeah just wait a few months, you will forget what a PITA the manual swap was, and you will just be left to enjoy your new awesome quaife and trans. I know what you mean though, when I was doing mine I wondered why the hell I was doing it, but once it was done i forgot all about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
