Finally made time to wrench on the summit today and made quite a bit of progress.
I love Rockauto! Brand new clutch master and slave cylinders for $43 shipped.
They also had the Beck/Arnley clutch for the na 1g dsm's on clearance for $60 so I grabbed one of those too.
Got my 7 bolt na flywheel resurfaced at the local machine shop.
I'm so glad Ben was able to grab those manual swap parts for me. Fabbing something up would have been a huge pain for sure.
Here is the nasty 1g trans I grabbed for the swap. Its way too cold out to pressure wash it so I'll clean it up the best that I can for now.
93+ FWD 7 bolt crossmember on the top and 92 6 bolt FWD crossmember on the bottom.
92 wagon rear engine mount.
12mm 1.25 tap to clean out the never used threads in the back of the 7 bolt 4G64 block.
mount installed
Here you can see the 3 holes, the 2 on the right are for the 7 bolt crossmember which has the mounts on the trans. I'll have to get creative and find a way to weld a nut in the one on the left. As it sits now its just a hole.
In the rear you can see on the left where the 7 bolt crossmember went. The 6 bolt one mounts a little higher and over to the right about 8". Thank God the mounting holes are there for both and threaded.
Closer shot of the original rear holes for the 7 bolt crossmember.
Close up of the holes for the 6 bolt crossmember, again cleaning out the never used holes with the same 12mm tap.
I left the bolt for the rear mount and the flywheel bolts at home so I decided to start removing the interior parts for the pedal/shifter swap.
That's it for now. I may work on it a little more tomorrow after church but I'm pleased with the progress for only a few hours of wrenching.
