Hi,
updates: The car has been to the body shop and back in a record 2 weeks for the hell hole repair work (it always helps when your mom went to high school with the body shop owner). While it was in the body shop and while I was home on thanksgiving break, I did some work on the subaru engine. I took off the wiring harness and the power steering pump and the A/C pump. I also removed the intake and the alternator. I put on the KEP adapter plate and flywheel/clutch assembly. I mated up the tranny and just snugged down the nuts cause I am going to send the tranny out soon for a rebuild....Dr. Evil? Anyways....My question is this: When the tranny and engine are mated up, the clutch fork has way too much 'slop' before the clutch begins to engage. I then realized that this might be caused by the thickness of the adapter plate pushing the transmission out further than it used to be. So, do I have to compensate for the width of the adapter plate? Thanks in advance. -Peter |
