My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

I was at it for an hour and still didn't remove enough material. Today will be round two=)
Edit: How tight should the fitment be? I know there should be no play but how hard should it be to move the dssr on the shift lever? Right now I can fit it by hand pressing hard and it takes a little force to move

You want it to move freely but I shouldn't have any side to side movement.

My flywheel got finished up yesterday=)Â
My clutch kit should be on it's way here shortly and I am picking up a transmission on Saturday. Once I get the trans, I will be cleaning it up and replacing the shifter detent springs, input/output shaft seals, selector shaft seal, and the selector rod joint.

I'm so jelly of that shifter linkage! Got to get the wire wheel out and clean mine up!

I actually have Garagistic front carrier bushings and the rear one is actually different on an e36=)
Got it

Picked up another getrag 250 Saturday to replace the one that was in the car. I had some first gear issues and figured I should really replace it while I am doing everything else.Â
The trans mounts that were on it were some of the worst I have seen=P It looks like they were separated and the trans was just resting on them...
Anyone ever see a selector rod joint like this? I have a feeling it is some cheap off brand replacement. Good thing I am replacing it anyways=)Â
Here is a comparison of the clutch fork pivot pins. The middle is the one from my car and the one on the right is from the "new" trans.Â
I also cleaned up the clutch fork, media blasted it, and have it ready for powder coating. The wear was pretty minimal.
I started cleaning up the trans a little yesterday. Still not near as clean as I want but it's better.Â
Hoping to finish cleaning it this week so that I can pull the old seals. Ordering the new seals, detent springs, selector rod joint, bitch clip, and clutch fork retaining spring as well.
