[Jizzle Juice]

Good shit shanton!

[kirks5oh]

definitely feels good to turn your own wrenches. i've been through 12 years of blood/sweat/tears with the '87 in my sig, and 5 years with the cobra.

 

one thing though---i find myself over-researching mods, and over-analyzing upgrades to the point where i don't do them. i'm so damn busy that its getting easier to just drop the car off and tell the shop what i want. i'm fighting that urge right now with my cobra, as my '85 sits in the shop right now.

 

congrats

I have done all the work to my car and its a great feeling.

[ZappBrannigan]

I have completely outgrown any claustrophobia I once had while under the car in the same sorta situation lol. Doing my clutch, putting the tranny back up.. I think i was on the floor for a solid 3 hours holding my tranny up with a shitty scissors jack and my legs as i was jiggling it to go in.. Yeah it felt good when that bitch slid into place (chose my words carefully and it still sounds terrible). Felt even better to get out from under the car though lol.

About time....

 

 

 

 

[Erica]

wow props!! That's kind of a big deal!

[1qwk767]

I remember when the clutch went out on my DSM never worked on a dsm, let alone a fwd 4cyl, I was used to the v8 rwd platform as my previous vehicle was a v8 s-10.

 

drug the car home off the side of 270, had the trans out the next day, clutch ordered and had the car back up and running in a week as I wanted to make sure everything went together had no help what so ever, just looked at a lot of pictures and read a repair manual.

 

about 4months later I destroyed my transmission 2nd gear would grind and eventually would pop out at low rpms, well one night I forgot lined up with my buddies OMNI GLHT at a traffic light, well I slammed 2nd pretty hard lost 2nd gear, later that night I destroyed 4th gear so basically I had 1st,3rd,5th and reverse

 

after doing a clutch swap I had the old tranny out and the new trans in within hour and a half then driving the car half an hr later I was proud of myself that I accomplished all that without the knowledge and know how

 

Shanton I commend you on your troubles with the trans

I am using this for the rest of my life.

[Crossle]

Awesome to hear, nothing like doing it yourself and having the car reward you for your efforts. Keep it up!

[Rustlestiltskin]

props man. I put in the tranny on the company box truck last year thinking it wasn't going to be that big of a deal. Well it was lol and it took almost 2 days to get everything said and done but great job bro. I'm def. gonna be callin ur ass up when I start tooling underneath the vw thats for sure!

I'm going to call you and shanton up in a week or two and we will do this. I'll get us some beer and pizza if you guys head out here.

[verse]

try doing it all day every day, but not on the same car...by yourself.

 

That's what I was thinking. I do shit just as bad as that everyday.

[El Karacho1647545492]

I felt like I just fucked jessica simpson on the tea cup ride at disney world.

 

congrats, you just made it into my sig. this might be the funniest thing i've seen go unnoticed on CR ever.

[6 Speed S4]

Nice job! I had to use a friend to install those few bolts like you said when I installed one in a buddys GTI for him a few months back.

[Archie]

Damn I didn't know you've had to pull that trans 8 times, shit. Thats a pretty good accomplishment trying to wrestle a trans to get it bolted in, good show.

I swear to you I just woke up from a dream about that, weird!

[Dave1647545494]

awesome you couldn't pay me enough money to pull a trans out of gti on the ground it was big enough pain in the ass to do one on a lift

[Limitedslip7]

I know how you feel, I just started my car for the for the first time on this build after designing and fabricating nearly every component on the engine. Fuckin amped!
