Do you have a mouse problem?! What the actual ****. Something fucked that seal up GOOD.

And do you have a clutch stop setup on your pedal? Not sure if the twin disc needs it, but it might be putting excess stress on that pivot pin. Which shouldn't be breaking.

 

So you installed it like a jackass, or damaged it pulling it out?

 

 

It's more than an install problem. It was like deteriorated. And only on the bottom. Supper fuckered. I cleaned it out good and reinstalled.

Yes to twin disc, yes to clutch stop. I'm going to re-adjust it before driving next time though, make sure nothing is wrong.

4 hours for a RMS replacement. Not bad.

 

That's really fast. What's your gimmick for indexing the trans input shaft into the pilot bearing? I gave up on doing trans swaps without pulling the motor because I had so much difficulty.

 

I lay on my back. Put the trans on my chest. Hold the tailshaft housing with my knees and bench the trans up. Line things up and slam it in.

Use the bell housing bolts to pull it in tight.

 

That's exactly what didn't work for me. Ohhhh well.

Also, for science, soak a seal in whatever you flushed your motor with in a jar for about a week. Just to see what it do.

 

OTOH, a harbor freight trans jack works wonders if you can't bench like Aidan can. Also if you have a t56.

 

I use a 2 post lift with a trans jack. In case anyone wants to be jealous. Trans out in 45 minutes with a simple NA and straight shot clutch line. NBs have a few more minutes of braces. straight shot clutch lines take a few of the brackets out of the way.

 

Trans was out in about 45. Started at 9:30, took a picture of the messed up rear main at 10:22. Not bad for a turbo car laying on my back lol.

 

Find a junker driveshaft and cut the trans side off. It acts as an oil plug so you dont have to dump the fluid at all, when pulling trans, and you use it with the trans in 5th or 6th to line up the input shaft.

 

Ah so. I have a spare 1.6 drive shaft. That's junk.

 

I collect 1.6 driveshafts. Send it my way

 

For seriously? I have a small junkyard museum of 1.6 stuff. Hit me up next time you come to Seattle.

 

I only want driveshafts lol. @Scaxx tryna bring that down for me?

 

I think he's from taco? I'm about an hour north of Seattle.

 

Oh nvm. I'll let you know when I'm up next.

 

Lol, I'll see how many 1.6 driveshafts I have, I should have at least a couple haha

I can bring one down in a couple weeks if you want

 

I have a ls swap driveshaft too, but I'm keeping that

 

Yeah I'll take a 1.6 one
