new pivot pin, clip and throw out bearing.
Awesome job and car.
What does that clip/wire do that is on the inside of the trans?
are you referring to the above picture? the clip holds the release fork lever against the pin on that side. the lever hinges from that point as the clutch slave piston pushes the other side of the lever toward the engine. most of the force on that end of the fork is forcing the lever against the pin behind it, so its just a measly clip to hold it steady.

Yeah you may have an issue. At a minimum you may get a lot if rattling. Not sure if the lever can find its way out of alignment but that could leave you with a blown slave cylinder and shifting issues.

that sucks. at least you have more practice!
that's one reason I take pictures as I go. lets me look back at things I might have missed. i missed some clips on the new pedal bracket and my picture was able to show me what they are (since I already threw away the old one

Yeah, hopefully it'll be back on the road by next summer. And yup that's mine! Sorry I was hiding it haha, I haven't had the chance to clean it much since I bought it so I was embarrassed...
That's actually pretty awesome picture by the way!

boring update, nothing to see here, just posting for the record.
today was f*in beautiful out, so i took advantage and did a brake job and oil change. new pads/rotors all the way around. no upgrades, just stock stuff.
overall, these were the crustiest brakes i've ever pulled off a car. holy strange pad wear grooves.
mmm fresh oil.

another nice saturday means another project done.
installed my George Graves USB charging port. Great product. (you can find them on r3v)
install instructions plus my diagrams from the ETM. you can use the ACC wire from the radio, but i didnt want to fuss with pulling the radio. when i did my 5 speed swap i ended up with the x511 connector (from the auto trans shifter) free under the shift console, so i looked up which pins might work there. Pin 1 is hot in run and start (perfect), and pin 3 was grounded. Pin 5 was possibly a ground in the ETM (i'm a little slow comprehending the ETM), but there was no wire there on the car.
my x511 adapter harness (which has my reverse light wires at pin 6/7) and the new pin 1/3 wires added. (top right, and top middle)
the USB port comes installed into a factory switch blank (he was nice enough to use an e34 one for me). now i have my AUX input and charger together.
