well today the trans finally came off. i helped with what i could but mainly finished up hiding my hid ballast in the fender. Once the trans came off, we got the clutch, pressure plate and flywheel off, one of the clutch springs just fell out onto the ground lol. Anyway heres some pics to summarize whats happened so far:

before garage cleaning:




after garage cleaning :thumbsup: :




The heat source:






New parts: hid kit :thumbsup: :






Hey the trans is off!




Carnage Pictures:






Notice how the outer spring is so much smaller (wonder where the other parts went hmm)




Old throwout bearing is trash:




Broken clutch disc:








Went and picked up a clutch from a friend (stock ITR clutch/pressure plate w/ less than 10k on it). Flywheel off to get resurfaced tomorrow, hope to have everything together and running again mid this week (depending on how much i can work on it after school and when i work etc). cant wait to have this thing running again. Overall it has been fun, learned alot about how everything works. Deffinetly glad i didnt pay a shop $700 to fix this

 

damn...that **** is fuked up......
got one better than that....

friend of mine needed a clutch in his s10 xtreme...got it all apart and there was not one bit of cutch material left on the disc.....figure that one out....

 

dam lol. yeah the spring was sitting sidways just floating around in there. that would explain the metal on metal scraping and scratching/grinding noise that sounded like marbles floating around inside the tranny case when i had the clutch in O.O

 

hows the flywheel....

 

flywheel is actually fine surprisingly. just a little chewed up in the center but the contact area is fine minus a few hot spots. Going to get it re surfaced and it should work fine.

 

where did you get the hid kit from? how much did it run you?

 

i really wish people would stop building garages and just make it a room....seriously.....

i feel your pain, i'm guessing all that stuff is your parents.

good work my friend, way to eradicate that tranny gnome
