Re: Roberts 89GT Engine build.
First off nothing on the car is rigged.It was just to make sure it didn't leak.This trans can handle your driving eric.There is also a rumor that the clutch doesn't rattle anymore.woody90gtz wrote:Whoa, who rigged the detent cover with RTV? That Jeff guy?

Re: Roberts 89GT Engine build.
May have spoke too soon.. After a ride the trans still has a little bit of that noise... It still blows my mind...
Clutch is very smooth engagement I have to say... Makes me want one for my Legacy now since it is so streetable.
I'll get a vid soon.

Yeah I pulled it off for a second because the fuel line routing was in the way I'm going to move those lines when it's cool and drop the brace back in.

He rebuilt and upgraded the 3400 V6 swap that was already done prior to this, and upgraded a couple trans components, but it was already a 5 speed with LSD as well prior to this.theSLEEPER wrote:Who me? 17 pages is a lot to read, but I got the jist. Built motor and trans swap?
