Brad850 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Posted September 4, 2013 Im gonna say save up for a while and do both at once, lot less work then. But taking out the engine is so fun.......
Brad850 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Posted September 5, 2013 So am I removing your transmission while you watch then?
Brad850 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Posted September 17, 2013 Kevin's m56hk is currently sitting in the garage! Will report back winter break.
Tightmopedman9 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 Do the manual. And save up for a RN swap, muuuch better.
Brad850 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Posted September 17, 2013 RN swap with forged rods and pistons...then t3/t4 or 20g... yes please
Brad850 Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Posted December 2, 2013 Euro R clutch kit came in today. Can you guys give someone who has never driven a manual any tips on breaking it in correctly? Specifically for an 850. What's the best way to avoid glazing? I wan't to be completely comfortable with it before I push the car at all, but is there anything else I should absolutely never do?
Piston Slapper Posted December 3, 2013 Report Posted December 3, 2013 but is there anything else I should absolutely never do? Don't ride the clutch, take your foot completely off the pedal. Don't downshift too low at high speed. It's not really rocket science.
Kevin. Posted December 3, 2013 Report Posted December 3, 2013 Brad, drive it gentle for the first 500 or so miles
laird Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 So everyone told him to do the manual swap not knowing he has never driven one. Now he's going to get broadsided by a cement truck when he kills it trying to cross the road and everyone will be asking for his tranny when he parts out the wreckage. Nice.
laird Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Absolutely no dig on you, apologies, just a general (humor intended) comment on the typically carnivorous nature of your audience.
Brad850 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Posted January 8, 2014 It's ok. You can have first dibs when it does happen I'll admit, it would have been wiser to drive a manual car first. I might not even like it.
