You officially suck. Because you don't live close to me.

A few updates. Our distillery sponsor fell through last minute. So lots of beer as normal and maybe some wine.

Calder - you still up for doing some ribs? How many racks can you do? I'll buy 'em if you smoke 'em.

AI/CMC Parking?
What will the parking situation be like up there? never been. I was guessing like Cresson. Any particular area the knuckle draggers congregate?
likely lake friday arrival

Furthest north row in the lower pit area.
I should be there early.

Probably not going to make it now. My limited mechanical abilities seem to be failing me. I can’t get my #%$@&*% transmission in, and I’m pretty much out of time. I thought about using dynamite, but unfortunately I don’t have any.

Made this for Pranav yesterday.

Need some help? I can drop by if you need a hand.

Just ratchet strap the engine and bring it... we've dealt with worse.

Thanks for the offer Glenn! After some sleep last night, I decided to try it again. It turns out, plastic clutch alignment tools suck. I realigned the clutch with a metal alignment tool and the trans went right on. Now my problem is that it won’t go the final ¼ inch. I’ve tried using a few bolts to tighten it on, but it got to the point that I needed to use too much force. I don’t want to screw anything up. I’m wondering if my slave cylinder/ throw out bearing is too long.

I'm considering that. I may bring my old transmission and see if it makes it through the weekend. It blows about 1/2 a quart of fluid out every session.

If your clutch is hydraulic controled, make sure you connect the lines together between the master and slave. If they are not connected, when the slave is compressed, there is no place for the fluid to displace to and it will not compress. If you have pressure on it now, back to bolts out until the slave is not compressed at all. Then connect the line.

LS1 F-bodys have a quick disconect for the clutch line. I assume all hydrualic clutch systems are set-up this way.
