I had some leftover undercoating so I used some here... but I didn't
spray it on. What I did was spray the undercoating into a small cup and
then I brushed it on. It doesn't have the same texture like the
surrounding area but it's protected now. This stuff smells really bad
when it's wet so I'm glad it covered in one coat.

This was left on my doorstep the other day and I was lucky that
everything I ordered was still in the box. It makes me wonder how this
happens because it seems like the bigger the box, the more beat-up it
gets. And if you're wondering if it was open on the end, yes it was.
|

Here is one of the things that was in the box. It's a -3 to a -4 AN
adapter which I needed for my hydraulic throw out bearing line. Once I
had the new hard line bent with the -3 fitting installed, I noticed that
I the bearing line had a -4 so this will connect the two together.
|

I mounted the line on my trans tunnel which should be out
of the way of my exhaust. I also put a small piece of rubber between the
clamp and fitting so it wouldn't be metal-to-metal. The last thing I
want is a leak here so the rubber should help.

While I was in clutch mode, I remember reading about not letting the
throw out bearing overtravel. If the bearing were to overtravel it might
cause the o-ring inside to be damaged which could result in a leak. The
only way to fix this leak would be to remove the hydraulic bearing and
replace the o-ring.
What I came up with was pretty simple but should work. I drilled
through my chassis and used a piece of 3/8 all-thread with a nut on each
side for adjustment. I plan on putting a cap on the end of the threaded
piece with a softer surface instead of the solid metal one that you see
here. The reason for the softer surface is because when the pedal comes
in contact with the threaded piece, it makes a metal-to-metal noise that
I don't want. Once I have that made I'll show you more about it.
You'll also notice that I placed a clamp on the wiring loom. This
clamp will hold the loom out of way because the clutch pedal comes very
close to it. I was thinking that I may need to relocate these wires but
after installing the clamp I'm good to go. To hold the clamp in place is
a riv-nut with 8-32 threads.

I was wondering what I was going to do with my trans temp gage now that
the automatic is gone. But after looking around I found a place for the
gage on the new transmission. I used the drain plug hole (which required
an adapter that I happen to have) so it was an easy deal. I don't know
if you're suppose to use the drain for this but after looking inside for
something in the way, it looked nice and clear so it should work. On the
other hand, I have no idea what the normal operating temp for this trans
should be so I'll have to find that out from the manufacture.
