Gadwhite,

I have the same throw out bearing as the one on the left. Pardon the fuzzy cell phone photo.


I dropped my Transmission off at Santo's Italian Car Service in Northridge this morning, and ordered several things: They'll rebuild the transmission with all new syncros, those syncros will be custom lightened (they say another shop provides these), new forks, and certain factory parts that are beefier than the aftermarket items.

I'm also getting a new aluminum flywheel and having them balance the new pressure plate and flywheel together.

The driveshaft gets all new center bearing and support along with new universal joints. I think they balance this as well.

Last but not least, the Smog Devices on my car need tending to. The exhaust manifold has a (1 of 4) broken stud , to be replaced, and the down pipe just after the manifold has to be repaired as well. There are many bad welds (Looks Horrible! ) that need to be fixed. The smog valves will be cleaned and checked. It will all be cleaned and painted.

Good luck Gadwhite, and...

GO GADWHITE GO!!!!


It looks like you will be first to finish. So far yours is looking clean and Neat'O!
