A least it was the pp side that grenaded.

Damn that is serious stuff! I have a 11" pressure plate down here. I have a 11" disc as well but it's 26 spline. Let me know what it's worth to ya, I can ship it out. It has less than 2k miles.

Summit order should arrive today. But thanks for the offer.

Almost two weeks on the new clutch. Everything is driving perfect.

This was the most painful clutch swap I'd ever done. The long tube headers made it tough. If I ever have to remove the trans again, I will be dropping the k-member or (more likely) selling the LT's and installing shorties......or forward pointing ones that spin one of those terbou things that all the kewl kidz talk about. Would also be easier if the trans came off the bellhousing from the outside like a T5. That would have made it doable with the headers in place.

Anyhooo......pedal engagement is dead one, cable adjustment is perfect and she shifts like butta!! Cindy is happy........which makes everyone happy.

Congrats Dan-O!

Did you have to remove the LTs when you took the transmission out?

Yes he did - he had lots of fun!

Driver side-no. Loosened motor mount.

Pass side-yes. Took out motor mount. Jacked up motor in that side. Took out all header bolts. Just that sucked. Trans did come out with the header still in (but totally loose) but it was hard. To get back in I had to install the trans and header at the same time. That was a major pita. My 387w ranger is easier to work on.

It it will for sure get shorties if it ever needs to come out again.
