where are you getting the longer one?

 

One of these:

And one of these (Thats a @hi_im_sean riding a motohorse):

 

Disclaimer: I will not be riding the motohorse while operating the lathe.

 

 

That's because the lathe goes on the motorhorse. Duh.

 

Here are some pictures.

These wont help with anything besides a 949 twin disc, but should help anyone else planning.

Waiting on some measurements from sean for the crank, but we might end up having to take a bit off of the end of the input shaft.

And maybe some custom discs, don't know yet.






(0.429")

 

I will draw it all up tomorrow.

I don't have mspaint at home.

 

I like dat green shift **** in the last pic.

 

Brb, rethreading for t5

 

What is the general consensus on input shaft spline engagement. With the twin disc and the t5 input shaft I would be missing about .12" out of like .75". But only on one disc.

 

Is that engaged or disengaged?

 

Engaged. I remeasured. It's like .04 out of .35 or something. I still haven't drawn it all up.

worst case is I strip a disc or input shaft. Still have a second to limp home on.

 

It'll probably be fine.

 

Built a little fixture to align the tailshaft housing. This aligns the shift rod hole on the mill and lets me drill a hole for the extension on the back of the T5 perfectly.

 

Just found a t5 flange drawing on an alfa site.

And here is my version with the holes for the alfa bellhousing removed.




Printed one out. Going to check it on the trans tonight.

Going to rough cut a miata bellhousing to make sure I don't need to add any material anywhere and then get this waterjetted.

 

Have you looked in to use a NA Miata Automatic Bellhousing? Could make adapting easier...

 

I need the clutch hydraulics

 

Ah I see, I had intend to use a hydro release bearing, but it's a short enough Bellhousing.

 

Hydro release bearing costs more than the trans I bought.

Good solution tho.

 

If you're turning it down I'll sell you a quartermaster hydro release bearing for $150. $250 regular price, brand new.
