      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, I don't remember seeing one on my trans when I pulled it last.

          I don't want to pull it all apart again, but I am sure its there for a reason...

            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.

              The bad news - I spent all night taking the motor out and taking the trans off.

              The good news - the clip is there - and I can sleep well knowing that.

                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.

                                        HmsiRmT.jpg

                                        1cdW6F6.jpg

                                        overall, these were the crustiest brakes i've ever pulled off a car. holy strange pad wear grooves.
