The new money pit....

I always replace the engine rear main seal every time i remove a transmission, even if it isnt leaking. Check what kind of fluid that is in there and decide if you need to replace the input shaft seal of the transmission. I would replace the output seal as well just to be safe, who wants to pull out a whole drive shaft for one seal.

BTW i think the turbo transmission uses a pull type pressure plate, so it looks like you have an N/A transmission, correct me if im wrong.

P.S. I can smell a bhg with that universal upper hose that close to those cam gears!

Where is the rear engine seal located at? yes it is an n/a w58 transmission. Where can I get a input shaft seal?

car looks great! i remember seeing it on ebay a while back. definitely has come a long way since you got it. are those springs the rs-r lowering springs or race springs?

 

[jd_kittle05]

Don't know, I bought them used from Iceburg319.

Nice. Looks good. Did you use gas with the mig welds for the back?

The rear engine seal is behind the flywheel, you should be removing this to have it surfaced if you are replacing the clutch anyways. Dont put a new clutch on without getting that replaced or resurfaced. You can get the seals at any parts store i would think, but OEM is always better.

No gas, I used flux core wire. I am looking at getting some argon soon.

:1zhelp:Need a little help. Got everything back together but cant get the clutch cylinder to work. I have been bleeding the cylinder for the last hour and cant get any pressure to build up on clutch pedal. Just replaced the master cylinder 3months ago, can it already be bad???

 

[jd_kittle05]

Gave the car a little nose job!

Also painted the window cowl and wiper arms. Came out nice, need to replace rusted and bent wiper blades.

Finaly got over to the muffler shop to get some pipe. Welded up a 3" pipe to get rid of the cat.

Ordered a new tire for the front drivers side since the steel belt was showing through:aigo:. Should be here soon!

 

[jd_kittle05]

Got tire in today. shipped in 2 days!

 

[jd_kittle05]

Well after attempting to bleed the clutch for 3 days now, I decided to go ahead and buy a new clutch master cylinder from drift motion. Also ordered new shifter seat, cup, and boot from marlin crawler.

did you call them? or order online?

 

[cruisnhard]

Looks like it is coming along nicely. I think I like the front without the badge.

[jd_kittle05]
